Uniform Circular Motion
Uniform circular motion is motion along a
circular path in which there is no change in
speed, only a change in direction.
Fc
v
Constant velocity
V tangent to
path.
Constant force Fc
toward center.
Question: Is there an outward force on the ball?
Uniform Circular Motion (Cont.)
The question of an outward force can be
resolved by asking what happens when the
string breaks!
Ball moves tangent to
v
path, NOT outward as
might be expected.
When central force is removed,
ball continues in straight line.
Centripetal force is needed to change direction.
Examples of Centripetal Force
You are sitting on the seat next to
the outside door. What is the
direction of the resultant force on
you as you turn? Is it away from
center or toward center of the turn?
• Car going around a
curve.
Fc
Force ON you is toward the center.

Definition of Torque
Torque is defined as the tendency to
produce a change in rotational motion.
Examples:
Units for Torque
Torque is proportional to the magnitude of
F and to the distance r from the axis. Thus,
a tentative formula might be:
t = Fr
Units: Nm or lbft
t = (40 N)(0.60 m)
= 24.0 Nm, cw
t = 24.0 Nm, cw
6 cm
40 N
Torque is determined by Three Factors:
• The magnitude of the applied force.
• The direction of the applied force.
• The location of the applied force.

Direction of Torque
Torque is a vector quantity that has
direction as well as magnitude.
Turning the handle of a
screwdriver clockwise and
then counterclockwise will
advance the screw first
inward and then outward.
Sign Convention for Torque
By convention, counterclockwise torques are
positive and clockwise torques are negative.

Calculating Torque

Read problem and draw a rough figure.
Extend line of action of the force.
Draw and label moment arm.
Calculate the moment arm if necessary.
Apply definition of torque:
t = Fr
Torque = force x moment arm
Example 1: An 80-N force acts at the end of
a 12-cm wrench as shown. Find the torque.
• Extend line of action, draw, calculate r.
r = 12 cm sin 600
= 10.4 cm
t = (80 N)(0.104 m) =
8.31 N m
Alternate: An 80-N force acts at the end of
a 12-cm wrench as shown. Find the torque.
positive
12 cm
Resolve 80-N force into components as shown.
Note from figure: rx = 0 and ry = 12 cm
t = (69.3 N)(0.12 m)
t = 8.31 N m as before
Universal Law of Gravitation
So because of Newton’s 3rd law every body in the
universe exerts a force of attraction on every other
body.
• This is Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation
The force between two
objects, due to their masses,
is called the gravitational force
(Fg)- in this case it’s not Earth
specific and is not 9.81 m/s2).

Field Strength(GFS)
Example 3: What is the Gravitational Field Strength in
Earth?
• Radius of the Earth – 6.37 x 106 m
Example 4: What is the Gravitational field strength on
the moon?
• Radius of the Moon – 1.7 x 106 m
What if the distance between the Earth and the
Moon was doubled?
What if the distance between the Earth and the
Moon was tripled?
What if the distance between the Earth and
the Moon was quadrupled?
Both the ULG and the GFS follow the
Inverse square law:
• ULG-If the distance between two objects is
doubled the gravitational attraction is (1/4) of
the original.
OR
• GFS-If we travel beyond the Earth by a
distance that is double it’s radius than we will
only feel a quarter of Earth’s gravitational pull
(9.81 m/s2/4 = 2.45 m/s2).

Earth and Mars is 8.7 x 1016 N. The distance between
the two planets is 5.5 x 1010m. Earth has a mass of
6.0 x 1024 kg. What’s the mass of Mars?
