Equilibrium and Elasticity

• Many bodies, such as bridges, aqueducts, and ladders, are designed so they do not accelerate.

• Real materials are not truly rigid. They are elastic and do deform to some extent.

• We consider stress and strain to understand the deformation of real bodies.

Torque and Static EquilibriumFor an extended object to be in equilibrium, the net force and the net torque must be zero.

Slide 8-11



Choosing the Pivot Point

Slide 8-12



Conditions for equilibrium• First condition: The sum of all the

forces is equal to zero:

ΣFx = 0 ΣFy = 0 ΣFz = 0

• Second condition: The sum of all torques about any given point is equal to zero.



Center of gravity

• We can treat a body’s weight as though it all acts at a single point—the center of gravity.

• If we can ignore the variation of gravity with altitude, the center of gravity is the same as the center of mass.

Slide 8-15



Balance

For an object to balance, its center of gravity must reside over its base of support. That way gravity does not exert a torque.

Base of support

Gravity acts at the center of gravity.

Line of action

This force exerts no torque about her toes.

Slide 8-20



TiptoeingWhy can’t you stand on tiptoes if your toes are against a wall?

Center of gravity has to be over toes – the base of support – to balance. That requires shifting your body slightly forward. But you can’t shift your body forward if your toes are against the wall.

Slide 8-20



Tensile and compressive stress and strain• Tensile stress = F⊥ /A and tensile strain = Δl/l0.

• Compressive stress and compressive strain are defined in a similar way.

• Young’s modulus is tensile stress divided by tensile strain, and is given by Y = (F⊥/A)(l0/Δl).



Some values of elastic moduli



Tensile stress and strain

• In many cases, a body can experience both tensile and compressive stress at the same time



Bulk stress and strain

• Pressure in a fluid is force per unit area: p = F⊥/A.

• Bulk stress is pressure change Δp and bulk strain is fractional volume change ΔV/V0.

• Bulk modulus is bulk stress divided by bulk strain and is given by B = –Δp/(ΔV/V0).



Sheer stress and strain

• Sheer stress is F||/A and sheer strain is x/h

• Sheer modulus is sheer stress divided by sheer strain, and is given by S = (F||/A)(h/x).



Elasticity and plasticity

• Hooke’s law applies up to point a

• Table 11.3 shows some approximate breaking stresses.

In (b), the cart is pulled to the position xstart and released. It then oscillates about xequilibrium.Which graph correctly represents the potential energy of the spring as a function of the position of the cart?


In part (a) of the figure, an air track cart attached to a spring rests on the track at the position xequilibrium and the spring is relaxed. In (b), the cart is pulled to the position xstart and released. It then oscillates about xequilibrium.Which graph correctly represents the potential energy of the spring as a function of the position of the cart?

Answer: 3.The cart starts at xstart with no kinetic energy, and so the spring’spotential energy is a maximum. Once released, the cart accelerates to theright and its kinetic energy increases as the potential energy of the springis converted into kinetic energy of the cart. As the cart passes the equilibriumposition, its kinetic energy is a maximum and so the spring’s potentialenergy is a minimum. Once to the right of xequilibrium, the cart starts tocompress the spring and it slows down as its kinetic energy is convertedback to potential energy of the recompressed spring. At the rightmost pointit reaches, the cart reverses its direction of travel. At that instant, it has nokinetic energy and the spring again has maximum potential energy.

• We’ve studied how Newton’s Second Law allows us to calculate an acceleration from a force but what if the force changes during its application? We must be able to account for things like an archer’s bow.

• We must look at action–reaction pairs that are not immediately obvious (like the shotgun expelling the pellets with expanding gas but having the expanding gas do work on the shotgun at the same



The Law of Conservation of Energy


The Work-Energy Equation

Work Done by Force at an Angle to Displacement


Use the parallel component if the force acts at an angle


How can it be such a great “workout” with no work?When positive and negative work cancel, the net work is zero even though muscles are exercising.


The work-energy theoremWork done on an object can change its motion and energy.


We can compare the kinetic energy of different bodies

Changes in the energy of a moving body under the influence of an applied force change differently depending on the direction of application.


The Basic EquationKf + Uf + ΔEth = Ki + Ui

A few things to note:• Work can be positive (work in) or negative (work out)• We are, for now, ignoring heat.• Thermal energy is…special. When energy changes to thermal energy, this change is irreversible.

Use :F = ma(Fsp )x = −kΔx

Work and energy with varying forcesPerhaps the best example is driving a car, alternating your attention between the gas and the brake.

The effect is a variable positive or negative force of various magnitude along a straight line.


The stretch of a spring and the force that caused it

The force applied to an ideal spring will be proportional to its stretch.

The graph of force on the y axis versus stretch on the x axis will yield a slope of k, the spring constant.


Stepping on a scaleWhether you like the result or not, stepping on a scale is an excellent example of applied force and the work being done to compress that spring.


Motion with a varying force


Motion with a varying force


Motion on a curved pathIf you watch a child on a swing set, you can also consider the motion of a particle along a curved path.


Watt about power?Once work is calculated, dividing by the time that passed determines power.

The pun is credit to James Watt. (You will see that scientists of that era often were privileged to leave their names on the topic of their efforts.)

Also note the popular culture power unit of horsepower.

The energy you use may be noted from the meter the electric company probably installed to measure your consumption of energy in kilowatt-hours.

Power• Same mass...• Both reach 60 mph...

Same final kinetic energy, butdifferent times mean different powers.


An example you might do if the elevator is out

It’s interesting how a lighter stair climber and heavier stair climber can expend the same power by using different amounts of time.
