10.9: Newton’s Law for Rotation For more than one force, we can generalize: Sample problem: Newton’s 2nd Law in Rotational Motion Forces on block: From the block’s freebody, we can write Newton’s second law for components along a vertical y axis as: T –mg= ma. The torque from the tension force, T, is -RT, negative because the torque rotates the disk clockwise from rest. The rotational inertia I of the disk is ? MR2. But tnet =Ia =-RT=1/2 MR2a. Because the cord does not slip, the linear acceleration a of the block and the (tangential) linear acceleration at of the rim of the disk are equal. We now have: T=-1/2 Ma. Combining results: We then find T: The angular acceleration of the disk is: Note that the acceleration a of the falling block is less than g, and tension T in the cord (=6.0 N) is less than the gravitational force on the hanging block ( mg =11.8 N). 10.10: Work and Rotational Kinetic Energy where t is the torque doing the work W, and qi and qf are the body’s angular positions before and after the work is done, respectively.

A fixed axis means that the rotation occurs about an axis that does not move. Figure skater Sasha Cohen in motion of pure rotation about a vertical axis.
