Chapter 11: Rolling, Torque, and Angular Momentum
Lecture 2310/21/2009
RotationGoals for this Lecture:
Study the rolling of circular objects and its relationship with friction
Redefine torque as a vector to describe complex rotational problems
Introduce the concept of Angular Momentum of single particles and systems or particles
Newton’s second law for rotational motionConservation of angular momentumApplications of the conservation of angular momentum
TorqueIf a particle has a position given by the vector r, is acted on by a force F, it experiences a torque given by:
! = r x F

Torque Dropsa)You look directly up to see a rain drop 10m
above your head falling directly at you. Ignoring the drag force, what is the torque that YOU observe to be acting on this drop?
b)There is another raindrop that is 10m above your friend’s head, who is 5m away from you. Ignoring the drag force, what is the torque that YOU observe to be acting on this drop?

a) !1 = r1 x F = r mg sin(180°) = 0
Fg = 0î + -mg " +0k !
r2 = rxî + ry" + 0k !
""""= 5î + 10" + 0k !
b) !2 = r2 x F = |r| mg sin(#)
or = 0î + 0" + 5 mg k ! ! 0
Same force, acting on the “same” object produces different torque. The
reference point matters!!
Angular MomentumFor an object moving with respect to an origin O, we define its angular momentum as
l = r x p = r x (mv) = m(r x v) = mr!v = mrvsin#
Units: l = mrvsin# = [kg][m][m/s] = [kg m2/s] = [kg m2/s2·s] = [J·s]
Newton’s Second LawWe can now write the equivalent expression of Newton’s second law for rotation:
Derivation of this expression:

Fnet = dp/dt

!net = dl/dt

Water balloonYou lean over the edge of Hume’s roof and drop a water balloon. For someone on the ground, 10m away from the bldg what is a) the angular momentum they observe for the
balloon as a function of time?
b) What is the torque they observe exerted on the balloon by gravity?
c) Is the relationship !net = dl/dt still true?

balloon as a function of time?
L = r x p = r(t) x mv(t) = m r(t) v(t) sin#(t) = m r!(t) v(t), r! = 10 m
= m r! v(t) = m r! [v0 + gt] = (m r! gt)k!
L increases linearly with time.

c) Is the relationship !net = dL/dt still true?

a) L1/L2 > 1
b) L1/L2 = 1
c) L1/L2 < 1
d) There is not enough information to determine an answer

Two particles are moving in a plane as shown in the figure. Particle 1 has mass 10 kg and velocity 2.0 m/s î. Particle 2 has mass 3.0 kg and velocity 3.0 m/s "a) What is net angular momentum of the two
particles about the origin O (both magnitude and direction)?
