Static Equilibrium In Chap. 6 we studied the equilibrium of pointobjects (mass m) with the application of Newton’s Laws F x 0, F y 0 Therefore, no linear (translational) acceleration, a=0 For rigid bodies (non-point-like objects), we can apply another condition which describes the lack of rotational motion 0 If the net of all the applied torques is zero, we have no rotational (angular) acceleration, =0 (don’t need to know moment of inertia) We can now use these three relations to solve problems for rigid bodies in equilibrium (a=0, =0) Example Problem The wheels, axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh 60.0 N. The load chamber and its contents weigh 525 N. It is well known that the wheelbarrow is much easier to use if the center of gravity of the load is placed directly over the axle. Verify this fact by calculating the vertical lifting load required to support the wheelbarrow for the two situations shown. FL FD L1 FL FD Fw L2 Fw L2 L3 L3 L1 = 0.400 m, L2 = 0.700 m, L3 = 1.300 m First, draw a FBD labeling forces and lengths from the axis of rotation FL FD Choose a direction for the rotation, CCW being axis Fw positive is the convention L a) 0 D W L 0 1 L2 L3 FD L1 FW L2 FL L3 0 FD L1 FW L2 FL L3 (525 N)(0.400 m) (60.0 N)(0.700 m) FL 1.300 m FL 194 N Apply to case with load over wheel Torque due to dirt is zero, since lever arm is zero axis b) 0 D W L 0 FL FD Fw L2 FD L1 FW L2 FL L3 0 FD L1 FW L2 FL L3 (525 N)(0 m) (60.0 N)(0.700 m) FL 1.300 m FL 32.3 N Who?

Its center of gravity (cg) corresponds to its geometric L center, L/2. L/2 cg Each particle which makes up the rod creates a torque about cg, but the sum of all torques due to each particle is zero So, we treat the weight of an extended object as if it acts at one point Consider a collection of point-particles on a massless rod The sum of the torques Mg xcg m1 gx1 m2 gx2 m g 1 m2g m3g m3 gx3 Mgxcg x2 M m1 m2 m3 x1 m1 x1 m2 x2 m3 x3 xcg xcm M x3
