The kinetics of rigid bodies treats the relationships between

the external forces acting on a body and the corresponding


translational and rotational motions of the body.

In the kinetics of the particle, we found that two force


equations of motion were required to define the plane
motion of a particle whose motion has two linear
components.
For the plane motion of a rigid body, an additional
equation is needed to specify the state of rotation of
the body.

Thus, two force and one moment equations or their


equivalent are required to determine the state of
rigid-body plane motion.
GENERAL EQUATIONS OF MOTION
In our study of Statics, a general system of forces acting on a rigid body may
be replaced by a resultant force applied at a chosen point and a
corresponding couple.

By replacing the external forces by their equivalent force-couple system in


which the resultant force acts through the mass center, we may visualize the
action of the forces and the corresponding dynamic response.

Analysis Procedure

In the solution of force-mass-acceleration problems for the plane motion of


rigid bodies, the following steps should be taken after the conditions and
requirements of the problem are clearly in mind.

1) Kinematics : First, identify the class of motion and then solve any needed
linear or angular accelerations which can be determined from given
kinematic information.
2) Diagrams: Always draw the complete free-body diagram and kinetic
diagram.

3) Apply the three equations of motion. ( ∑ ∑M
F = ma , G = Iα )
Mass Moments of Inertia

Mass moment of inertia of dm about the axis OO, dI:


O

dm dI = r dm 2

Total mass moment of inertia of mass m :

∫ ∫
I = dI = r 2 dm I is always positive and its units is kg.m2.
Transfer of axes for mass moment of inertia:

If the moment of inertia of a body is known about an axis passing through the mass
center, it may be determined easily about any parallel axis.

I O = I + md 2

d O
Mass Moments of Inertia for Some Common Geometric Shapes

Thin bar Thin circular plate Thin rectangular plate


Radius of Gyration, k: The radius of gyration k of a mass m about an axis for which the
moment of inertia is I is defined as

I
I =k m ⇒2
k=
m

Thus k is a measure of the distribution of mass of a given body about the axis in
question, and its definition is analogous to the definition of the radius of gyration for
area moments of inertia.

The moment of inertia of a body about a particular axis is frequently indicated by


specifying the mass of the body and the radius of gyration of the body about the axis.

When the expressions for the radii of gyration are used, the equation becomes

2) FIXED-AXIS ROTATION
For this motion, all points in the body describe circles about the rotation axis, and all
lines of the body have the same angular velocity ω and angular acceleration α.

For fixed-axis rotation, it is generally useful to apply a moment equation directly
about the rotation axis O.

∑M O = I α + mr at

∑ ( )
