Rotation with constant angular acceleration
The angular velocity and acceleration can be also thought of as vector quantities pointing along the axis of rotation with direction determined by the
right-hand rule. Then, at the level of magnitudes there is the following equivalence of linear and angular quantities
x → θ
vx → ωz
ax → αz .
(9.18)
and so for motion with constant acceleration we have
a(t) = a → α(t) = αz
v(t) = v0 + ax t → ω(t) = ω0z + αz t

x = x0 + v0x t + ax t2 → θ(t) = θ0 + ω0z t + αz t2

Example 9.3. You have finished watching a movie Blu-ray and the disk
is slowing to a stop. The disc’s angular velocity at t = 0 is 27.5 rad/s, and
its angular acceleration is a constant −10.0 rad/s2 . A line PQ on the disc’s
surface lies along the +x-axis at t = 0 s.
117
CHAPTER 9. ROTATION OF RIGID BODIES
a) What is the disc’s angular velocity at t = 0.300 s?
b) What angle does the line PQ make with the +x-axis at this time?
a) The disc’s angular velocity is
ωz (t) = ω0z + αz t
#
$
ωz (0.300 s) = 27.5 rad/s + −10.0 rad/s2 (0.300 s) = 24.5 rad/s(9.21)
b) The angular displacement is given by
1
θ(t) = θ0 + ω0z t + αz t2
2
θ(t) = 0 + (27.5 rad/s) (0.300 s) +
and so the line PQ makes angle

Example. Supposed the disc in Example 9.3 was initially spinning at
twice the rate (i.e. 55.0 rad/s) and slowed down at twice the rate (i.e. −20.0 rad/s2 ).
a) Compared to the situation in Example 9.3 how long would it take the
disc to come to a stop?
(i) the same amount of time;
(ii) twice as much time;
(iii) four times as much time;
(iv) one half as much time;
(v) one fourth as much time
CHAPTER 9. ROTATION OF RIGID BODIES

b) Compared to the situation in Example 9.3 through how many revolutions would the disc rotate before coming to a stop?
(i) the same number of revolutions;
(ii) twice as many revolutions;
(iii) four times as many revolutions;
(iv) one half as many revolutions;
(v) one fourth as many revolutions.

Relating linear and angular kinematics
The linear displacement of a given point P on rotating body at distance
r from the axis of rotation is related to angular displacement through the
following relation
s = rθ,
(9.24)
where θ must be measured in radians.
This suggests that the (magnitude of) linear velocity of the point P is

Example 9.4. An athlete whirls a discus in a circle of radius 80.0 cm.
At a certain instant, the athlete is rotating at 10.0 rad/s and the angular
speed is increasing at 50.0 rad/s2 . At this instant, find the tangential and
centripetal components of the acceleration of the discus and the magnitude of
the acceleration.
Components of linear acceleration are given by
#
$
a|| = rα = (0.800 m) 50.0 rad/s2 = 40.0 m/s
a⊥ = ω 2r = (10.0 rad/s)2 (0.800 m) = 80.0 m/s
and so the magnitude is
&
&
a = a2|| + a2⊥ = (40.0 m/s)2 + (80.0 m/s)2 = 89.4 m/s.

Example 9.5. You are designing an airplane propeller that is to turn
at 2400 rpm (or revolutions per minute). The forward airspeed of the plane
is to be 75.0 m/s, and the speed of the tips of the propeller blades through the
air must not exceed 270 m/s. (This is about 80% of the speed of the sound
in air. If the speed of the propeller tips were greater than this, they would
produce a lot of noise.) (a) What is the maximum possible propeller radius?
(b) With this radius, what is the acceleration of the propeller tip?

Example. Information is stored on a disc in a coded pattern of tiny pits.
The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwards towards the rim of the
disc. As the disc spins inside a player, the track is scanned at a constant
linear speed. How must the rotation speed of the disc change as the player’s
scanning head moves over the track?
(i) The rotation speed must increase.
(ii) The rotation speed must decrease.
(iii) The rotation speed must stay the same.

of it move with different linear velocities and so have different
kinetic energies energies.

Example 9.7. We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and diameter 0.120 m, which rotates in frictionless bearings
about a stationary horizontal axis. We pull the free end of the cable with a
constant 9.0 − N force for a distance of 2.0 m; it turns the cylinder as it unwinds without slipping. The cylinder is initially at rest. Find its final angular
speed and the final speed of the cable.
The total work done by the pulling force is
W = F s = (9.0 N) (2.0 m) = 18 J.

and the final linear speed of the cable is
vf = ωf R = (20 rad/s) (0.060 m) = 1.2 m/s.
Example 9.8. We wrap a light, non-stretching cable around a solid
cylinder with mass M and radius R. The cylinder rotates with negligible
friction about a stationary horizontal axis. We tie the free and of the cable
to a block of mass m and release the block from rest at distance h above the
floor. As the block falls, the cable unwinds without stretching or slipping.
Find expression for the speed of the cylinder as the block strikes the floor.

Parallel-Axis Theorem
There are (infinitely) many axis passing through a given object, and thus
there are infinitely many moments of inertia. However, some of them are
related to each other. Consider two axis of rotation:
• axis O: passing through the center of mass and
• axis D: parallel to the first one, but displaced by distance d.
Let’s choose z-axis to point along the direction of the first axis and with
origin at the center of mass. Then the O axis of rotation has coordinates
(x, y, z) = (0, 0, z)
(9.48)
and the D axis of rotation has coordinates
(x, y, z) = (a, b, z)
where
d=
√
a2 + b2 .
(9.49)
(9.50)
CHAPTER 9. ROTATION OF RIGID BODIES

Then the two moments of inertia are given by
' #
$
IO =
mi x2i + yi2
(9.51)
i
and
ID =
'
i
#
$
mi (xi − a)2 + (yi − b)2 .
(9.52)
The second equation can be expanded as

$
ID =
mi (xi − a)2 + (yi − b)2

The first term is the moment of inertia around center of mass (9.51), the
second and third terms a proportional to center of mass and thus vanish

and (9.50). The resulting expression is known as the parallel-axis theorem:
ID = IO + Md2 .
(9.55)
Example 9.9. A part of mechanical linkage has a mass of m = 3.6 kg.
Its moment of inertia IP about an axis l = 0.15 m from its center of mass is
IP = 0.132 kg · m2 . What is the moment of inertia Icm about a parallel axis
through the center of mass?
From the parallel-axis theorem we get
Icm = Ip − ml2
= 0.132 kg · m2 − (3.6 kg) (0.15 m)2 = 0.051 kg · m2

where the limits of integration are set by the geometry of the body.
Example 9.10. Consider a hollow cylinder of uniform mass density ρ
with length L, inner radius R1 , and outer radius R2 . Find its moment of
inertia about its axis of symmetry.
Integration on the x-y plane is most convenient done in polar coordinates
x(r, θ) = r cos θ
y(r, θ) = r sin θ
