Let’s consider a motion of a rigid body with a single external
force F exerting on the point P, moving the object by ds.
The work done by the force F as the object rotates
through the infinitesimal distance ds=rdq is
dW  F  d s   F cos(  f )  rdq  F sin f rdq
What is Fsinf?
What is the work done by
radial component Fcosf?
Since the magnitude of torque is rFsinf,
The rate of work, or power becomes
The tangential component of force F.
Zero, because it is perpendicular to the
displacement.

Angular Momentum of a Particle
If you grab onto a pole while running, your body will rotate about the pole, gaining
angular momentum. We’ve used linear momentum to solve physical problems
with linear motions, angular momentum will do the same for rotational motions.
Let’s consider a point-like object ( particle) with mass m located
at the vector location r and moving with linear velocity v
The angular momentum L of this
L  r p
particle relative to the origin O is
What is the unit and dimension of angular momentum?
Note that L depends on origin O. Why?
kg  m2 / s [ ML2T 1 ]
Because r changes
What else do you learn? The direction of L is +z
Since p is mv, the magnitude of L becomes L  mvr sin f
What do you learn from this?
Monday, Nov. 15, 2004
If the direction of linear velocity points to the origin of
rotation, the particle does not have any angular momentum.
If the linear velocity is perpendicular to position vector, the
particle
moves exactly the same way as a point on a 3rim.

Angular Momentum and Torque
Can you remember how net force exerting on a particle
and the change of its linear momentum are related?
dp
 F  dt
Total external forces exerting on a particle is the same as the change of its linear momentum.
The same analogy works in rotational motion between torque and angular momentum.

Angular Momentum of a System of Particles
The total angular momentum of a system of particles about some point
is the vector sum of the angular momenta of the individual particles
L  L1  L 2  ......  L n   Li
Since the individual angular momentum can change, the total
angular momentum of the system can change.
Both internal and external forces can provide torque to individual particles. However,
the internal forces do not generate net torque due to Newton’s third law.
Let’s consider a two particle
system where the two exert
forces on each other.
Since these forces are action and reaction forces with
directions lie on the line connecting the two particles, the
vector sum of the torque from these two becomes 0.
Thus the time rate change of the angular momentum of a
system of particles is equal to the net external torque
acting on the system

Example for Angular Momentum
A particle of mass m is moving on the xy plane in a circular path of radius r and linear
velocity v about the origin O. Find the magnitude and direction of angular momentum with
respect to O.

Since both the vectors, r and v, are on x-y plane and
using right-hand rule, the direction of the angular
momentum vector is +z (coming out of the screen)

The magnitude of the angular momentum is L  mr  v  mrv sin f  mrv sin 90  mrv
So the angular momentum vector can be expressed as
L  mrvk
Find the angular momentum in terms of angular velocity .

Thus the net external torque acting on a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis is equal to the moment
of inertia about that axis multiplied by the object’s angular acceleration with respect to that axis.

Find an expression for the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the

If m1 = m2, no angular
momentum because net

If q//2, at equilibrium
so no angular momentum.

Conservation of Angular Momentum
Remember under what condition the linear momentum is conserved?
Linear momentum is conserved when the net external force is 0.  F  0 
dp

p  const
By the same token, the angular momentum of a system
is constant in both magnitude and direction, if the
resultant external torque acting on the system is 0.

Example for Angular Momentum Conservation
A star rotates with a period of 30 days about an axis through its center. After the star
undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 1.0x104km, collapses
into a neutron start of radius 3.0km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star.
What is your guess about the answer?
Let’s make some assumptions:
Using angular momentum
conservation
The period will be significantly shorter,
because its radius got smaller.
1. There is no external torque acting on it
2. The shape remains spherical
3. Its mass remains constant
