Trang 11Rotational Motion 8
In this chapter, we first treat the rotation of an extended object about a fixed axis This is commonly known as pure rotational motion The analysis is greatly simplified when the object is rigid To perform this analysis, we first ignore the cause of rotation and describe the rotational motion in terms of angular variables and time This is
known as rotational kinematics We then discuss the causes of rotation This is
known as rotational dynamics , and through the study of this topic we introduce the
concept of torque After that we treat some general cases where the axis of rotation
is not fixed in space In these cases, rigid bodies can undergo both rotational and translational motion, as in the rolling of objects
8.1 Radian Measures
One radian (1 rad) is the angle subtended at the center of a circle of radius r by an
arc of length s equal to the radius of the circle, i.e s = r, see Fig.8.1a Since the
circumference of a circle of radius r is s = 2πr, where π 3.14, then 360◦(or one revolution) corresponds to an angle of (2πr)/r = 2π rad, see also Appendix B.
Thus:
1 rev= 360◦= 2π rad ⇒ 180◦= π rad (8.1)
Therefore:
1◦= (π/180) rad 0.02 rad
1 rad= 180◦/π 57.3◦.

8.2 Rotational Kinematics; Angular Quantities
Angular Position
The rotational motion of a rigid body (or a particle) about an axis is completely specified by an angleθ that a fixed line in the rigid body (or the particle) makes with some reference fixed line in the space, usually chosen as the x-axis Additionally,
the rotational motion is greatly simplified ifθ is expressed in radians This angle θ
is defined as the angular position of the rigid body (or the particle).
Figure8.2represents a rigid body that is rotating about a fixed axis passing through
point O, where that axis is perpendicular to the plane of the figure Line OP is fixed
in the body and completely specified at time t by the angular position θ which the line OP makes with respect to the x-axis Therefore, the angular position of the rigid body, or the particle at point P which has polar coordinates (r, θ), is:
Angular Displacement
When the rigid body rotates as shown in Fig.8.3, the angular position of the line OP
changes fromθ1at time t1 toθ2at a later time t2 The quantity θ = θ2− θ1is
defined as the angular displacement of the a rigid body:
