Though other coordinate systems do exist,
in physics we conventionally follow the
right–handed coordinate system as shown
in Figure 2.3.

Frame of Reference:
If we imagine a coordinate system and the y
position of an object is described relative to
it, then such a coordinate system is called x

d) Vibratory motion
Earth
If an object or particle executes a to–and–
fro motion about a fixed point, it is said to
be in vibratory motion. This is sometimes
also called oscillatory motion.
Examples
Vibration of a string on a guitar
Movement of a swing
Figure 2.5 Examples of circular motion These motions are shown in Figure 2.7
c) Rotational motion
If any object moves in a rotational
motion about an axis, the motion is
called ‘rotation’. During rotation every
point in the object transverses a circular
path about an axis, (except the points
located on the axis).
Examples
Rotation of a disc about an axis through
its center
Spinning of the Earth about its own axis.

The banking angle T and radius of curvature
of the road or track determines the safe
speed of the car at the turning. If the speed
of car exceeds this safe speed, then it starts to
skid outward but frictional force comes into
effect and provides an additional centripetal
force to prevent the outward skidding. At
the same time, if the speed of the car is little
lesser than safe speed, it starts to skid inward
and frictional force comes into effect, which
reduces centripetal force to prevent inward
skidding. However if the speed of the vehicle
is sufficiently greater than the correct speed,

1 electrical unit = 1 kWh = 1 u (103 W)
Power is a scalar quantity. Its dimension is u (3600 s)
[ML2T–3]. The SI unit of power is watt (W),
1 electrical unit = 3600×103 W s
named after the inventor of the steam engine
James Watt. One watt is defined as the power 1 electrical unit = 3.6×106 J
when one joule of work is done in one second,
1 kWh = 3.6×106 J
(1 W = 1 J s–1).
The higher units are kilowatt(kW),
megawatt(MW), and Gigawatt(GW). Electricity bills are generated in units
of kWh for electrical energy consumption.
1 unit of electrical energy is 1 kWh.
1kW = 1000 W = 10 3 watt (Note: kWh is unit of energy and not of
1MW = 106 watt power.)
1GW = 109 watt

SUMMARY
A rigid body is the one in which the distances between different particles remain
constant.
For regular shaped bodies with uniform mass distribution, center of mass always
lies at the geometrical center.
Net torque produces turning motion in rigid object.
A rigid body is in translational equilibrium if the total external force on it is zero. It
is in rotational equilibrium if the total external torque on it is zero.
The center of gravity of an extended body is that point where the total gravitational
torque on the body is zero.
If the external torque acting on the body is zero, the component of angular
momentum along the axis of rotation is constant.
There are rotational equivalents for all the translational quantities.
Rolling motion is the combination of translational and rotational motions.
Rolling can also be treated as the momentary rotation about the point of contact.
In pure rolling, the total kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of translational
and rotational motions.
In sliding the translational motion is more than rotational motion.
In slipping the rotational motion is more than translational motion.

STEPS:
• Open the browser and type the given URL to open the PhET simulation on Torque. Click the picture
link or the download button. Once downloaded, click ok to open the java applet.
• Set platform mass 0.1 kg, Outer radius 4 m. (Keep inner radius = 0). Now it is a circular disc. Click the
button ‘go’ to get the value of moment of inertia.
• Adjust the values of mass and radius and then observe how moment of inertia changes in the middle
graph.
• Keep the inner and outer radius same (say R = r = 4 m.) and mass 0.1 kg. Now it becomes circular ring.
Click the button ‘go’ to start the calculation.
• Observe the moment of inertia from the middle graph. Compare the moment of inertia of a circular disc
and circular ring with same mass and radius.
