Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 63P

Four bricks of length L, identical and uniform, are stacked on top of one another (Fig. 12-71) in such a way that part of each extends beyond the one beneath. Find, in terms of L, the maximum values of (a) a₁, (b) a₂, (c) a₃, (d) a₄, and (e) h, such that the stack is in equilibrium, on the verge of falling.

Two identical, uniform beams are symmetrically set up against each other (Fig. 9–87) on a floor with which they have a coefficient of fric- tion µs = 0.50. What is the minimum angle the beams can make with the floor and still not fall? FIGURE 9-87 Problem 71.

A parking garage is designed for two levels of cars. To make more money, the owner decides to double the size of the gar- age in each dimension (length, width, and number of levels). For the support columns to hold up four floors instead of two, how should he change the columns’ diameter? (a) Double the area of the columns by increasing their diameter by a factor of 2. (b) Double the area of the columns by increasing their diameter by a factor of V2. (c) Quadruple the area of the columns by increasing their diameter by a factor of 2. (d) Increase the area of the columns by a factor of 8 by increasing their diameter by a factor of 2V2. (e) He doesn't need to increase the diameter of the columns.

1 Figure 12-15 shows three situations in which the same horizontal rod is supported by a hinge on a wall at one end and a cord at its other end. Without written calculation, rank the situa- tions according to the magnitudes of (a) the force on the rod from the cord, (b) the vertical force on the rod from the hinge, and (c) the horizontal force on the rod from the hinge, greatest first.
