Angular Motion and Torque

More spinning things! Records, and wheels, and doors, and other fun things. The equations that govern this kind of motion are just like the ones we learned in kinematics, except they have different symbols. Lots of funky Greek letters in this one, folks.

Many people wonder why radians do not appear when we have radians * meters. Here is an attempt at an explanation: Let s denote the length of an arc of a circle whose radius measures r. If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = n°, we can pose a rule of three: 360° _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r n° _______ s Then s = (n° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r If β = 180° (which means that n = 180), then s = (180° / 360°) • 2 • 𝜋 • r The units "degrees" cancel out and the result is s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r s = 𝜋 • r If the arc subtends an angle measuring β = θ rad, we can pose a rule of three: 2 • 𝜋 rad _______ 2 • 𝜋 • r θ rad _______ s Then s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r If β = 𝜋 rad (which means that θ = 𝜋), then s = (𝜋 rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r The units "radians" cancel out and the result is s = (1 / 2) • 2 • 𝜋 • r that is, half of the circumference 2 • 𝜋 • r s = 𝜋 • r If we take the formula with the angles measured in radians, we can simplify s = (θ rad / 2 • 𝜋 rad) • 2 • 𝜋 • r s = θ • r where θ denotes the number of radians (it does not have the unit "rad"). θ = β / (1 rad) and θ is a dimensionless variable. However, many consider θ to denote the measure of the angle and for the example believe that θ = 𝜋 rad and radians * meter results in meters. Mathematics and Physics textbooks state that s = θ • r and then θ = s / r It seems that this formula leads to the error of believing that 1 rad = 1 m / m and that the radian is a dimensionless derived unit as it appears in the International System of Units (SI). In the formula s = θ • r the variable θ is a dimensionless variable, it is a number without units, it is the number of radians. When confusing what θ represents in the formula, some mistakes are made in Physics in the units of certain quantities, such as angular speed. My guess is that actually the angular speed ω is not measured in rad / s but in (rad / rad) / s = 1 / s = s^(-1).

"Clocks are negative" is how my textbook said to remember that clockwise motion is negative and hence counterclockwise is positive.

Hi @ProfessorDaveExplains I have a few questions about torque that I don't know if you already covered in this video, because to be honest, I didn't watch it all, but you are the only one on youtube making videos on this topic that replies. Here are my questions: 1. What absolutely decides whether rotation is clockwise and anti-clockwise? In a 3D spinning item, such as a bicycle wheel or even a ferris wheel like you said, has 2 sides. On one side, no matter how it spins, it will be clockwise, and the same wheel will appear to be anti-clockwise when viewed from the other side. 2. How does torque have a direction in or out of the page? I know the right hand rule RHR, but it doesn't explain anything. Taking the bicycle wheel or the ferris wheel as an example again, think about the axle: when looking at the wheel from the side so all you see is a thin rod, the axle sticks out on both the left and right, but when applying the RHR, and you pick a side, any side, your thumb will invariably end up pointing at either one of the left or the right... it's just a matter of which side you choose. Further, even if the sides don't matter for points 1 and 2 because the mathematical signs will reverse which ultimately end up cancelling, what does it mean when people say torque has a direction in or out of the page? If a spoke in the bicycle rotates as the wheel spins, it spins either clock or anti clockwise depending on how you look at it. The force applied to it is perpendicular to the spoke on the same 2D plane as that of the flat surface of the wheel. However, if you used the right hand rule, your thumb will point in either direction of the axle that sicks out. But that's not where the force is, you are not pushing on the wheel from the side (remember we are looking at the wheel from the side so we only see the thin profile of the wheel tread and no spokes). What is there? How can you say that "torque comes out or into the page/plane" when torque is the force you applied to it (eg to the spoke) to make it turn? Thank you in advance and sorry for the long question.

[@zalikabi4117]

[@user-wu2rm3bh4y]

My guess is that actually the angular speed ω is not measured in rad / s but in (rad / rad) / s = 1 / s. If we say that the measure β of the angle is θ radians, we mean β = θ rad, and θ is the number of radians (it does not have the unit "rad"). For emphasis we can say that θ is measured in rad / rad, since θ = β / (1 rad) and θ is a dimensionless variable. When we use mathematical formulas to obtain formulas in Physics, we have to know what the variables represent. What I consider a mistake, is present in the literature, it is not only in this video. Therefore, I will leave another comment with the detailed information to be examined.

[@Sayandipsen-12ivy]

[@kostasbaganas3681]

FYI: π is not pronounced as 'pie' in Greek, but more like a 'pe' instead. The same holds for the wave function in Quantum mechanics ie. 'pse' instead of 'psie'. Also, torque τ is read as 'taph' (or 'taf'') instead of 'tao' ('taou').

[@reaper3.097]

im not interested in learning pronunciation

[@carultch]

In English, we have to shift the vowel when we say the letter π. Otherwise it would sound identical to the Latin letter p. It is a consequence of the great vowel shift in the history of English. Other languages that use the Latin alphabet, call the letter "pay", instead of "pea", and can retain the original Greek name of π, and still tell them apart.

[@shaherfurany3926]

in your example the rod was horizontally placed , what if the rod was vertically placed ? then the force ( torque) will be perpendicular to the rod and consequently sine turns into cosine ??

[@anaghaanagri2159]

It's always sine theta because theta is the angle between the force (torque) and the plane of rotating object (in other words , the displacement vector )and not the angle between the force with the horizontal. Torque is force times the perpendicular distance between the force and plane of rotating object.

[@moontonaccount9489]

Hey, would't the lever that will move the earth be faster than the speed of light since it will transfer force faster than light? So it will mean that something can travel faster than light?

[@harshihash1569]

What's meant by fulkrum nd How can planet orbits rotating without falling down is there any gravity involvement,Make my doubt cleared

[@carultch]

Fulcrum means pivot point. It is the point where the lever is fixed in position, but free to rotate. As for how a planet can orbit without falling down, the planet has sufficient tangential speed. It is continuously falling and overshooting the "target" that is causing it to fall. The force of gravity causes change in direction, rather than change in speed. There is gravity everywhere in the universe, so if someone tells you "there is no gravity in space", they are either oversimplifying something, or giving you incorrect information. There is gravity in space. But that gravity is "used up" in causing an object to orbit, which causes objects inside an orbiting vehicle to not need any constraint force. It can seem like they are in a zero gravity environment. Consider what happens if you throw a ball perfectly horizontal. Initially, its velocity is horizontal. But gravity curves its path downward. Gravity is initially perpendicular to its velocity, where it can only cause a change in direction. Eventually, gravity starts to increase its speed, because it approaches the downward direction. What if you throw the ball so fast, that the Earth curves away from it, as fast as gravity can redirect its path? That is what orbit is. And if you neglect air drag, that speed would be 7.9 kilometers per second, and would circle the Earth in 84 minutes.
