In book M3 and book M4 we used differential equations to model the motion of a particle moving in a straight line. I If the particle is moving in a plane, or in three dimensions, we can use vector differential equations to model the motion. I Many of the techniques used in the solution of differential equations in Further Pure Mathematics can also be adapted to solve vector differential equations, provided that any integration or differentiation is carried out with respect to a sealar quantity.

Couples I Assystem of forces which has no translational (or pushing) effect but does have a rotational (or turning) effect is called a couple. The simplest example of a couple is two forces of equal magnitude with parallel lines of action but acting in opposite directions: = Suppose the two forces = are F and —F acting in some plane. ee 0 Now consider the sum of the vector moments of these two forces about a point O (which may or may not be in the plane of the couple). Let A be a point on the line of action of F and B be a point on the line of action of ~F. Sum of the vector moments about O = OA x F) + OB x -F) = OA ~ OB) x F =BAXF BA x Fis called the vector moment of the couple. Note a BA is independent of 0. b BA x Fis a vector which is perpendicular to the plane of the couple. ¢ |BA x F| = BA x |F| sing = |F\d, where d is the distance between the lines of action. From a, it follows that the vector moment of a couple is the same about any point, and is normally denoted by G. Systems of forces I Two systems of forces are equivalent if their effect on a body is the same translationally and rotationally. In 2 dimensions (ic. a system of coplanar forces), a system of forces is equivalent to: i a single force, or ii acouple, or ii the system is in equilibrium.cHarren 1 In 3 dimensions, however, there is a fourth possibility. For example, consider 2 forces whose lines of action are skew (non-parallel, non-intersecting). Such a pair of forces cannot be equivalent (or reduce) to a single force, a couple of be in equilibrium, but are equivalent to a combination of a force and a couple whose plane does not contain the force.

If Sreduces to a single force R acting through a point with position vector a then DR =R and Ye, xF, xR I If Sreduces to a couple of moment G then DR =O and Dex If Sis in equilibrium then DR=0 and Dex Identifying the nature of a system of forces The converse problem of identifying the equivalent form of a given system of forces is more difficult. 1 To prove that the system is in equilibrium, it is necessary to show that both K=O and Dx, xk=0 (Either condition on its own is not sufficient since ) F; = 0 is also true for a system which is equivalent to a couple and Sr, x F; = 0 holds for a system whose resultant is a single force acting through the origin 0.) 2 To prove that the system reduces to a couple, it is necessary to show that both =0 and Dx, x40 (Again either condition, on its own, is not sufficient.) If OF, 40, then either i the system reduces to a single force or ithe system reduces to a force and a non-coplanar couple. il if it reduces to a single force R then cither the line of action of R passes through the origin O and so 7, x F, = 0 or the line of action of R does not pass through O and the resultant moment of the system about O acts in the plane containing R and 0, i.e. the resultant vector moment of the system about 0 is perpendicular to the resultant force (see section 1.5 note b), Le.

In all of the problems considered so far you have assumed that the mass of the object involved has remained constant. However, this is not always true: * the mass of a rocket propelled car attempting the land speed record reduces as the motor burns fuel, the mass of a spacecraft reduces when its rockets burn fuel, * the mass of a raindrop increases as it passes through a cloud.Variable mass 2.1 You can use the impulse-momentum principle to describe the system. We talk about problems concerning ‘variable mass’, but what is actually happening is that the mass is being redistributed. Each situation involves the moving object together with any material ejected or absorbed as it moves. Ml The impulse-momentum principle states that the change of linear momentum of the system in the time interval dt is equal to the impulse of the external forces acting on the system in that time interval. Consider the following examples. A body is falling under gravity. It picks up matter as it falls, At time ft the body has mass mand speed v. Assuming that the matter picked up was stationary before it coalesced with the body, derive the differential equation for the motion of the body.

It is therefore the same as the moment of the resultant force acting on the body about the axis of rotation. This moment is usually denoted by L. IE The equation of rotational motion is L where Lis the moment about the axis of rotation of the resultant force on the body, is the moment of inertia of the body about the same axis and is the angular acceleration of the body.CHAPTER 4 For rotational motion with constant angular acceleration a, a set of rotational constant acceleration equations which mirror the linear equations first met in book M1, Chapter 2 can be formed.

Hence: When a rigid body is rotating about a fixed smooth axis, the force exerted by the axis can be calculated by considering the motion of a particle of the same mass as the body placed at the centre of mass of the body under the action of the same forces as those acting on the body. Usually you are asked to calculate the force exerted on the axis. You must use Newton's third law to obtain this from the force exerted by the axis.Rotation of a rigid body about a fixed smooth axis ‘Now suppose that a rigid body of mass M is rotating about a fixed smooth horizontal axis.

The particle P, is moving in a circle of radius r, and the linear momentum of P, is therefore mjr,é. Momentum is a vector and so has a moment about the axis through O. This moment is calculated in the same way as the moment of a force. ‘The moment of momentum for the particle P, about the axis through O is (mr) Xr,Rotation of a rigid body about a fixed smooth axis Adding these moments of momentum for all the particles of the body gives YS eon <= mr? = 6) mr? = 16 ‘This moment of momentum is usually called the angular momentum of the body about the ren axis, The angular momentum of a rigid body which is rotating about a fixed axis is given by angular momentum = 16 where I is the moment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation and 4 is the angular speed of the body. When the mass is measured in kilograms, lengths in metres and angular speed in radians per second, the unit for angular momentum is kg m?s~!. In book M1, Chapter 3 you learnt about the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two particles. When two bodies collide, one or both bodies may be capable of rotation. In such a case the moments of the impulses about the axis of rotation arising from the impact must be considered. In this book, only cases where one body can rotate will be considered. When there are no external forces which have a moment about the axis of rotation Newton’s third law tells you that the moment of the impulses on the bodies will be equal and opposite. In other words, the gain of angular momentum of the two bodies is zero. Provided there are no external forces on a system with a moment about the axis of rotation, the total angular momentum of the system is constant. This is the principle of conservation of angular momentam. Now consider a rigid body which is free to rotate about a fixed smooth axis. The moment of inertia of the body about the axis is / and the angular acceleration is #. By the equation of rotational motion (see Section 4.2) L- where L is the moment about the axis of the resultant force on the body.

The simple pendulum consists of a particle or ‘bob’ attached to one end of a light string. A rigid body which is making small oscillations about a fixed smooth axis may require the model to be refined. In such a case you have a compound pendulum.

When the simple pendulum model is appropriate the period of oscillation, T, is independent of the mass of the bob and is given by =2nfl m T=2 "\g where /is the length of the string or rod. ‘This formula has been found to be very accurate for amplitudes up to 0.26* (~ 15°). As the amplitude increases past this angle, the accuracy decreases. If the swinging body cannot be modelled as a simple pendulum, the model must be refined and becomes a compound pendulum. Using the equation of rotational motion and the approximation for sin 0 in the same way as for the simple pendulum will yield a simple harmonic approximation ‘once more.
