Sol. The centre of mass (CM) of a body is a point where the entire mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated
whereas the centre of gravity (CG) of a body is a point where the whole weight of the body is supposed to

Sol. On folding arms, r decrease hence as

Therefore, moment of inertia decreases on folding the arms.

As I decreases, ω (increases) so as to maintain the same angular momentum. Hence the dancer spins faster

Long Answer Type Questions :


31. Explain the equilibrium of a rigid body.
Sol. (i) The total forces, i.e. the vector sum of the forces acting on the rigid body is zero,

   n 
F 1 + F 2 + ... + F n = F
i =1
i = 0.

If the total force on the body is zero, then the total linear momentum of the body does not change with
time. So the above equation gives the condition for the translational equilibrium of the body.
(ii) If the total torque acting on the rigid body vanishes i.e. the vector sum of the torques on the rigid body
is zero,
   n 
τ1 + τ 2 + ...τ n = τ
i =1
= 0.

The total angular momentum of the body does not change with time. So the above equation gives the
condition for the rotational equilibrium of the body.
32. Explain the concept of angular momentum and obtain the expression for the rectangular components of angular
momentum.
Sol. Angular momentum is given by
  
L = r ×P
We can obtain the three rectangular components of angular moment i.e. Lx, Ly and Lz as we did in the case of Torque.

L = Lx iˆ + Ly ˆj + Lz kˆ

r = xiˆ + yjˆ + zkˆ

P = Px iˆ + Py ˆj + Pz kˆ
Using determinant method, we get

iˆ ˆj kˆ
( )
Lx iˆ + Ly ˆj + Lz kˆ = x y z
Px Py Pz

( ) ( )
= yPz – zPy iˆ + ( zPx – xPz ) ˆj + xPy – yPx zˆ
Comparing the components of both sides, we get

(
Lx = yPz – zPy ) ...(i )
Ly = ( zPx – xPz ) ...(ii )

(
Lz = xPy – yPx ) ...(iii )

And from the above three equations we get


if the particle is moving in y – z plane it has the angular momentum. Component only in x-direction
i.e. Lx ≠ 0, Ly ≠ Lz = 0

Similarly if the particle is moving in x-z plane Ly ≠ 0, Lx = Lz = 0 and if the particle is moving in x-y plane only Lz ≠
0, Lx = Ly = 0.
33. Obtain an expression for the position vector of the centre of mass of a two particle system in one, two and
three dimensions.
Sol. In one dimension, the centre of mass is given by
m1x1 + m2 x 2
x= m1 + m2
In two dimensions
m1x1 + m2 x2 m y + m2 y 2
x= ,y = 1 1

34. Discuss the concept of torque and obtain the expression for the rectangular components of torque.
Sol. The force applied on a rigid body may rotate it in three dimensions. In that case we shall have three
components of torque, which can be obtained by using
  
τ=r ×F.

τ = τ x iˆ + τ y ˆj + τ z kˆ

r = xiˆ + yjˆ + zkˆ

F = F iˆ + F jˆ + F kˆ
x y z

Using Determinant method,

iˆ ˆj kˆ
( τ iˆ + τ
x y
ˆj + τ kˆ
z ) = x y z ( ) ( )
= yFz – zFy iˆ + ( zFx – xFz ) jˆ + xFy – yFx kˆ
Fx Fy Fz

Equating the three rectangular components on two sides, we get

τ x = yFz – zFy ...(i)


τ y = zFx – xFz ...(ii)
τ z = xFy – yFx ... (iii)

From the above three equations we can see that if the object is moving in the y – z plane τx ≠ 0 and
τy = τz = 0.
Similarly if it is moving in x – z plane τy ≠ 0 and τx = τz = 0 and if it is moving in x – y plane
τz ≠ 0 and τx = τy = 0.

Let a body roll down this inclined plane. From A to B at A, potential energy of the body is mgh as it rolls
down (according to the law of conservation of energy). Its potential energy changes into kinetic energy of rotation.

The above expression gives the maximum velocity with which the centre of mass of the body reaches the
bottom of the inclined plane.
36. Discuss the motion of centre of mass and law of conservation of linear momentum with the help of examples.
Sol. We know that when an object of finite size is thrown with some initial velocity at an angle with the horizontal,
it follows a parabolic path. The centre of mass of such an object also follows the parabolic path, even if the
object were to disintegrate in mid-air. For example, when a fire cracker projected from O explodes in mid-air,
the fragments fly off in different directions, describing their own parabolic paths. However, the centre of mass
of the cracker would still continue to move along the same parabolic path as shown in the figure given below.

38. Obtain an expression for the kinetic energy of rotation of a body and then, using that expression define the
moment of inertia.
  
Sol. Linear velocity is angular velocity ( ω) , and the relation between v i and ω is given by the relation,
  
v i = ω × ri
  
The magnitude is given by v i = ri ω sin θ . The particle of the rigid body moves in a circle of radius ri and the
 
velocity vi of the particle is tangent to the circle, so the angle between r and ω is 90°.
  
Hence, v i = ri ω hence equation becomes

The total kinetic energy of the body is given by the sum of the kinetic energy K of the body is then given by

of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product
of its mass and the square of the distance between the two parallel axes.

of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product
of its mass and the square of the distance between the two parallel axes.
(ii) In a perfectly rigid body there is no internal motion therefore, the work done by the external torques is
