remains constant if the net external torque on


the system is zero.

ROTATIONAL MOTION TORQUE


(TORQUE AND STATIC EQUILIBRIUM)
i) An action that cause objects to rotate.

ii) Torque is nor the same thing as force

iii)For rotational motion, the torque is what is most directly related to the motion, not the force.

TORQUE
-To get the maximum torque, the force should be applied in a direction that
creates the greates level arm.
-The level arm is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the
force and the center of rotation. MOMENT OF INERTIA, I

1) The axis about which the object is rotated.


2) The mass of the object.
3) The distance between the mass and the exis of
rotation.
4) If apply a torque to a wheel, it will spin in the
direction of the torque.
5)The greater the torque, the greater the angular
