hi, i have a dynamics final in 2 days so i'm trying to unterstand thank you for the videos. why we do m=4(0.2) in 10:53 i cant understand why we use 0.2

[@QuestionSolutions]

200 mm = 0.2 m. So if we're given a mass based on length, we multiply the mass by the length, here, it's 4kg/m, so 4 times the length, which is 0.2 m.

Why at 7:13, the disk formula you use is 1/2 mr² but 3:19 the disk formula you give is 1/4mr²?

[@QuestionSolutions]

At 7:13, it's the moment of inertia for a cylinder. Which is used as a disk for the disk method. In addition, what I show are a few examples, the full list can be found in your textbook or a quick search online. The moment of inertia changes based on the shape and the axis it's calculated about.

moment of inertia of last part of the thin plate must be 1/12m(a^2+b^2) since we want it in the middle of the plate right? what you did is getting the inertia on a side

[@QuestionSolutions]

We want it about the y-axis, not the middle.

[@SahistaNaaz-fb5ce]

Sir it means that if we are finding the moment of mass in x axis then moment of mass of y axis wrt x axis will be zero and same goes on y axis ?

[@QuestionSolutions]

It's based on the direction/axis you're integrating. It's up to you which way you want to do it, you just need to make sure your equation is setup for that direction (x, y, z).

[@darrylcarter3691]

Do one on finding the radius of gyration and Center of Gravity

I probably won't do one on that. It's just using a single formula and for most problems, it's just plugging in values and will be given to you. Also, I think I am going to stop with statics now and move onto a different topic :)

[@HashemAljifri515]

I took this topic today in engineering dynamics, I took it in statics and physics 101 and currently taking it in mechanics for pure bending. and your explanation is wonderful, but this topic is tedious; cause there are different formulas for the same object in different axises :(. And finding inertia by integrating is a bit harder lol. I hate to say it but this topic is tough 😂

[@QuestionSolutions]

It's definitely on the more difficult side of things for students, especially if they need to do integral. But as with most topics, the more problems you solve, the easier it gets. You got this! Keep up the great work and do your best :)

Hi, I have one math question: Two particles have positions at time t given by S1=4t-t^2 and S2=5t^2-t^3. Find the velocities V1 and V2 at the instant the accelerations of the two particles are equal.

[@QuestionSolutions]

Hi, I don't really solve problems like this because then I have to solve everyone's problems and it will take too long 😅 Your professor should have their own allocated office hours. Please use them, they are super helpful and most professors sit idly in their office waiting :)

Differentiate twice wrt t you get accelation as a function of time than equate them you will get required time .now first derivative wrt t you get respective velocities

[@Lucyyuhe]

Hello sir, how would you solve the last example when you should calculate it for around the z-axis?

[@QuestionSolutions]

Pretty much the same way, but you need to use the mass moment of inertia equations about the z axis instead of the y axis. Also, the distances should be to the z axis. You can find the equations online.

[@user-oz5yk9bm5c]

what does the d in dV, dZ, dY and dr mean?

[@QuestionSolutions]

So this is from calculus. In very simple terms, the "d" is delta, so an infinitesimal change. If we say "dx" then that's an infinitesimal change in x. If we say dV, then that's an infinitesimal change in V.

[@astrobiology6218]

Great video but I dont understand why we have to use the extra step in the disc method. I = int(r^2 rho dV). When we know rho and dv=pi y^2 dz why can't we substitute that dv directly? If we do that we are missing a factor of 0.5 from the moment of inertia of the disc. But why is what I describe above wrong?

[@QuestionSolutions]

This is more to do with calculus than dynamics, but the essence of it is that with the shell method, the integration is done perpendicular to the axis where as with the disk, it's integrated parallel to the axis. This means for the mass moment of inertia (when we consider density), you have to take an extra step. This "step" is actually just finding the mass moment of inertia for a disk (perpendicular to the axis), and then adding all of them up using an integration (because the volume is hollow). If you have time, I encourage you to look at the 2 methods of integration in your calculus book. This will give you the proof for both methods and their shortcomings. If you don't have time, then forget all of this and just remember the extra step with the disk method vs the shell method. It's hard to answer without actually drawing it out and showing it to you on paper, so if you're still really curious about it, please visit your professor during office hours.

[@avery-4223]

I'm at the end of my statics course and next semester I'll have to take solid mechanics, does anyone have any reccomendations for another youtuber? i cant seem to find any solid mechanics videos on this youtube channel.

[@QuestionSolutions]

I don't have any recommendations but I am sure there are lots of great videos on KZbin :)

[@jackgoris7602]

I dont get when you need Ix or Iy or Iz because sometimes they have different mass moment of inertia and i dont know wich one i need

[@QuestionSolutions]

So that depends on the direction you're going to integrate. For example, if you decide to integrate over the x-axis, then you'd have Ix, if it's the y-axis, then Iy, etc.

Hey , I have one question, how would you calculate the moment of Inercia in the last example, if one of the circles was a bit to the left ( lets say 0.1 m from the z axel)?

Pretty much the same way, since if it was about the y-axis that the inertia was calculated, we just need the distance from the y-axis.

[@brainloading5543]

You made a minor mistake that confused me a bit. The mass is equal to the volumic mass times the volume. The density, in itself, has no unit. So multiplying it with a volume would just get you another volume

[@QuestionSolutions]

Could you tell me where you're referring to?

[@brainloading5543]

@@QuestionSolutions 0:57 "we represent density with the Greek letter ro." but what you are actually representing is the volumetric mass, not density

[@QuestionSolutions]

@@brainloading5543 Not sure if you're confusing terms or maybe it's not clear enough on my part in the video. Here, it is indeed density we are representing with the Greek letter rho. Density is sometimes also called volumetric mass density. It does have units, the SI units being kg/m^3. Mass can be found by multiplying density by the volume. Whenever you have doubts, multiply the units out and it will help. So here, we have m = ρv, so the units would be (kg/m^3)(m^3) => kg. So you end up with mass. I hope that makes sense. If you need further reading, please refer to your textbook, or see: www.engineeringtoolbox.com/density-specific-weight-gravity-d_290.html

density has unit, an example of density is the density of water which is equivalent of 1000kg/m^3. The specific gravity that is the one that is unitless
