  1. The Greek letter Tau

  2. The Physical Study of Balance Equilibrium

  3. Conditions for equilibrium Sum of forces is zero Tendency to rotate is zero

  4. Torque the effectiveness of a force in causing rotation on a rigid object also called moment of force

  5. Rigid Object vs. Point/Particle Model

  6. Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition • Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?

  7. Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition • Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?

  8. Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition • Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?

  9. Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition • Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?

  10. Factors that determine torque • The amount of force perpendicular to the lever arm. • The distance of the force from the pivot point.

  11. Guidelines for Problem Solving • Illustrate all the forces and the lever arm for each. • Torque is the product of force and its distance from the point of rotation. • Force and the lever arm must always be perpendicular. • Establish the point of rotation. • Equate the sum of forces to zero. • Equate the sum of torques to zero.

  12. Exercise A 50.0 N uniform beam, 10.0 m in length, is suspended on a support as shown. If the fulcrum divides the beam into the ratio of 2:3, where should a 6.00 kg object be placed to balance the beam? x

  13. Exercise • In a Singkil dance, two men are carrying a princess on a bamboo pole that is 5.00 m long and weighs 200.0 N. If the princess weighs 425 N and sits 1.50 m from one end, how much weight must each man support?

  14. Exercise • (Follow up) • Where should the princess sit so that one man supports her with a force twice that of the other? ?

  15. Exercises • Consult page 117 of your book and read Practice Exercise 5.8

  17. Exercises A uniform 50.0 N ladder rests on a frictionless wall as shown. What minimum coefficient of friction is needed on the ground to prevent it from slipping? 5m 2m

  18. Exercises A uniform aluminum beam 9.00 m long, weighing 300 N, rests symmetrically on two supports 5.00 m apart. A boy weighing 600 N starts at point A and walks toward the right. • From your diagram, how far beyond point B can the boy walk before the beam tips?
