5.1 DEFINITION OF CENTRE OF MASS

Centre of mass: Every physical system has associated with it a certain point whose motion characterizes
the motion of the whole system. When the system moves under some external forces than this point moves
as if the entire mass of the system is concentrated at this point and also the external force is applied at his
point of translational motion. This point is called the centre of mass of the system.
Centre of mass of system of n point masses or n particles is that point about which moment of mass of the system
is zero, it means that if about a particular origin the moment of mass of system of n point masses is zero, then that
particular origin is the centre of mass of the system.
Y
The concept of centre of mass is a pure mathematical concept. If there are n
m (x , y ,z )
particles having mass m1, m2 .m n and are placed in space (x1, y1, z1), (x2, y2, z2)

.(x n, y n, z n) then centre of mass of system is defined as (X, Y, Z) where

5.2 CENTRE OF MASS OF CONTINUOUS BODIES

If we consider the body to have continuous distribution of matter, the
summation in the formula of centre of mass should be replaced by integration.
If x, y, z are the coordinates of this small mass dm, we write the coordinates of
the centre of mass as

X = x dm, Y = y dm, Z = z dm

The integration is to be performed under proper limits so that as the integration variable goes through the
limits, the elements cover the entire body. We illustrate the method with three examples.
Illustration 2:
Find centre of mass of a uniform straight rod of mass m and length l,
Solution:
Let M and L be the mass and the length of the rod respectively. Take the left end of the rod as the
origin and the Xaxis along the rod (figure). Consider an element
of the rod between the positions A and B of the rod. Let the
element be at a distance x from the centre O and its width
(x, o, o)
be dx. So as x varies from 0 through L, the elements cover
x
the entire rod.

As the rod is uniform, the mass per unit length is M/L and hence the mass of the element is
dm = (M/L) dx.

Motion of the Center of Mass: Let us consider the motion of a system of n particles of individual masses
m1, m2, ., mn and total mass M. It is assumed that no mass enters or leaves the system during its
motion, so that M remains constant. Then, as we have seen, we have the relation

Showing that in the absence of an external force, the linear momentum of a particle (or the body) remains
constant. This is called the law of conservation of linear momentum. The law may be extended to a system of
particles or to the centre of mass of a system of particles. For example, for a system of particles it takes the form.
If net force (or the vector sum of all the forces) on a system of particles is zero, the vector sum of linear

Instantaneous Impulse: There are many occasions when a force acts for such a short time that the effect
is instantaneous, e.g., a bat striking a ball. In such cases, although the magnitude of the force and the time
for which it acts may each be unknown but the value of their product (i.e., impulse) can be known by
measuring the initial and final momenta. Thus, we can write

Regarding the impulse it is important to note that impulse applied to an object in a given time interval can
also be calculated from the area under forcetime (F t) graph in the same time interval.

impulse of the net force that acts on the particle during that interval.

5.5 VARIABLE MASS

In our discussion of the conservation of linear momentum, we have so far dealt with system whose mass
remains constant. We now consider those systems whose mass is variable, i.e., those in which mass
enters or leaves the system. A typical case is that of the rocket from which hot gases keep on escaping,
thereby continuously decreasing its mass.
r
In such problems you have nothing to do but apply a thrust force Ft to the main mass in addition to the all
r r dm
Ft v rel
other forces acting on it. This thrust force is given by,
dt
Here, v rel is the velocity of the mass gained or mass ejected relative
v
v dv
to the main mass. In case of rocket this is sometimes called the

increasing or decreasing.
The expression for the thrust force can be derived from the conservation of linear momentum in the
absence of any external forces on a system as follows :
r
Suppose at some moment t t mass of a body is m and its velocity is v . After some time at t t dt its mass
r uur
r
becomes (m dm) and velocity becomes v dv . The mass dm is ejected with relative velocity v r , Absolute
r r uur
velocity of mass dm is therefore v r v dv . If no external forces are acting on the system, the linear
momentum of the system will remain conserved,

5.6 COLLISIONS
When two particles approach each other, their motion changes or their momentum changes due to their
mutual interactions. This phenomenon is called collision. During collision (i) an impulse (a large force for a
relatively short time) acts on each colliding particle (ii) the total momentum of the particles remain
conserved. The collision is infact a redistribution of total momentum of the particles. Physical interaction
is not necessary for collision. Generally, the collisions are of two types:
(1)
Elastic collision
(2)
Inelastic collision
1. Elastic collision: A collision is said to be elastic if kinetic energy is also conserved along with the linear
momentum. There is no loss or transformation of kinetic energy in this collision

Thus in elastic collision, the relative velocity of approach of particles before collision is equal to the relative
velocity with which the particles recedes after collision. i.e. the magnitude of relative velocity remains the
same, but the direction is reversed.

Solution:
A ball of 0.4kg mass and a speed of 3 m/s has a head-on, completely elastic collision
with a 0.6-kg mass initially at rest. Find the speeds of both bodies after the collision:
By Conservation of momentum:
(0.4 3) + 0 = 0.4v + 0.6V
or
v + 1.5V = 3
We know that:
velocity of separation = velocity of approach or v + V = 3
We solve by adding the two equations to yield
2.5V = 6
V = 2.4 m/s
v = 0.6 m/s
2. Inelastic collision: A collision in which the linear momentum is conserved, but a part of kinetic energy
change into the other forms (such as heat, vibration, excitation energy etc) is called the inelastic collision. In
other words, the kinetic energy is not conserved.(Actually there is no violation of the law of conservation of
energy, but a part of the kinetic energy, changes into a useless form.) In this, the particles do not regain
their shape and size completely after collision. Some fraction of mechanical energy is retained by the

5.7 CONCEPT OF COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION

When two bodies collide headon, the ratio of their relative velocities after collision and their relative
velocities before collision is called the coefficient of restitution e.
r r

e= r r
Thus
(i)
u1 - u2
seperation speed
(along line of impact)
(ii)
approach speed
Where
v1 = The speed of first body after collision.
v2 = The speed of second body after collision.
u1 = the speed of first body before collision.
u2 = the speed of second body before collision.
The ratio e is called the coefficient of restitution and is constant for two particular objects.
0 e 1
In general,
e = 0, for completely inelastic collision, as both the objects stick together. So, their separation speed is zero or e = 0.
e = 1, for an elastic collision, as we can show that from equation (i)
v2 v1 = u1 u2
(iii)
Or
separation speed = approach speed
Or
e=1
Let us now find the velocities of two particles after collision if they collide directly and the coefficient of
restitution between them is given as e.

5.8 OBLIQUE COLLISION

When two bodies collide such that there velocities are not in the line of action of contact force then the
collision is known as oblique collision.
We can divide also oblique collision in elastic, and inelastic collision. It is important to notice that
momentum will conserve in each direction curing oblique collision also.
When two bodies collide obliquely, their relative velocity resolved along their common normal after impact is
in a constant ratio to their relative velocity before impact (resolved along common normal) and is in the
opposite direction.

5.9 RIGID BODY

A rigid body is a body with a definite and unchanged shape and size i.e. a body is said to be rigid if the
distance between any two particles of the body remains invariant.
MOTION OF A RIGID BODY

Translational: If a body moves such that its orientation does not change
with respect to time then body is said to move in translational motion.
ROTATION: If a body is rotating about the fix axis of rotation then its motion is known as pure rotational motion.
MIX MOTION: If a body moves such that its motion neither be pure rotational nor be pure translational
then its motion is known as mix motion.
5.10 ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT

Consider a rigid body undergoing rotation about an axis, perpendicular to the plane
of the paper and passing through O. Suppose that A and B are any two particles of
the rigid body at the position 1 while A and B are their subsequent locations when
the body is at the position 2.
Since the body undergoes rotation,
OA = OA
and
OB = OB
Further
AB = AB, since the body is rigid.
OAB OAB(congruent)
i.e.
AOB = AOB
Adding
AOB to both sides of the above equation, we get

BOB = AOA = (say)

This implies that in a given interval of time the angular displacements of all particles of the rigid body
undergoing rotation are identical.
Therefore, a single variable, viz. angular displacement () can be used to describe the rotational motion of
the rigid body. Angular displacement is not a vector quantity
5.11 ANGULAR VELOCITY( )

The rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time is known as angular velocity.
Average angular velocity: The rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time is known as angular

It is denoted by the Greek letter (tou). Thus,
torque = force perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation
Its unit is N m in SI. Its dimensional formula is [M L 2 T2], same as that of work. It may be pointed out that no
doubt, N m is equivalent
to joule (the unit of work); but joule is not used as the

5.17 MOMENT OF INERTIA

Like the centre of mass, the moment of inertia is a property of an object that is related to its mass
distribution. The moment of inertia (denoted by I) is an important quantity in the study of system of particles
that are rotating. The role of the moment of inertia in the study of rotational motion is analogous to that of
mass in the study of linear motion. Moment of inertia gives a measurement of the resistance of a body to a
change in its rotational motion. If a body is at rest, the larger the moment of inertia of a body, the more
difficult it is to put that body into rotational motion. Similarly, the larger the moment of inertia of a body, the
more difficult it is to stop its rotational motion.
Moment of Inertia of a Single Particle: For a very simple case the moment of inertia
of a single particle about an axis is given by, I = mr2
Here, m is the mass of the particle and r its distance from the axis under consideration.
Moment of Inertia of a System of Particles

The moment of inertia of a system of particles about an axis is given by :
I miri2
r1
m1
r2
m2
r3
m3
Where ri is the perpendicular distance from the axis to the ith particle, which has a mass mi.
Moment of Inertia of Rigid Bodies: For a continuous mass distribution such as
found in a rigid body, we replace the summation of Eq. (ii) by an integral. If the system
is divided into infinitesimal elements of mass dm and if r is the distance from a mass
element to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia is,
I r 2 dm
r
dm
Where the integral is taken over the system.
Radius of Gyration: Radius of gyration may be defined as the distance from the axis at which, if the whole
mass of the body were to be concentrated, the moment of inertia would be the same about the given axis
as with its actual distribution of mass.
Suppose a rigid body consists of n particles of each of the mass m. Let r 1, r2, ...... rn be the perpendicular
distances of these particles from the axis of rotation. Then
I mr12 mr22 ..... mrn2
m r12 r22 ..... rn2
r12 r22 ..... rn2
r12 r22 ..... rn2
mn
(where M = m n)
(i)
If whole mass of the body is regarded to be concentrated at a perpendicular distance K (radius of gyration), then
I = M K2
(ii)
From eqs. (1) and (2),
r 2 r 2 ..... rn2
K 1 2

2
(iii)
Therefore, radius of gyration of a body about an axis is equal to the root mean square distance of the
constituent particles from the given axis.

Where I is the moment of inertia about the axis.

be stated for rotational motion as:
Wrot = Krot
The net rotational work done by the forces is equal to the change in rotational kinetic energy of the body.
Conservation of Mechanical Energy: In the absence of dissipative work done by nonconservative
forces, the total mechanical energy of a system is conserved.

5.20 ANGULAR MOMENTUM OF A PARTICLE ABOUT A POINT AND

Angular momentum: The turning movement of a particle about the axis of rotation is called the angular
momentum of the particle and is measured as the product of the linear momentum and the perpendicular
distance of its lien of action from the axis of rotation. It is denoted by L.
Therefore,
Angular momentum = linear momentum perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation
In SI, the unit of angular momentum is kg m2 s1. Its dimensional formula is [M L2 T1]

r
