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.

Tiptoeing Why 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.

Review: Hooke’s Law

An elastic system displaced from equilibrium oscillates in a simple way about its equilibrium position with

Simple Harmonic Motion.

Hooke’s Law describes the elastic response to an applied force.

Elasticity is the property of an object or material which causes it to be restored to its original shape after distortion.

Ut tensio, sic vis - as the extension, so is the force

Importance of Simple Harmonic Oscillators

Simple harmonic oscillators are good models of a wide variety of physical phenomena

Molecular example If the atoms in the molecule do

not move too far, the forces between them can be modeled as if there were springs between the atoms

The potential energy acts similar to that of the SHM oscillator

Coupled Oscillators Molecules, atoms and particles are modeled as coupled oscillators.

Waves Transmit Energy through coupled oscillators. Forces are transmitted between the oscillators like springs

Coupled oscillators make the medium.

Hooke’s Law It takes twice as much force to stretch a spring twice as far.

The linear dependence of displacement upon stretching force:

appliedF kx=

Hooke’s Law Stress is directly proportional to strain.

The Spring Force

The magnitude of the spring force is proportional to the displacement of its end:

Fsp = k ∆x Slide 8-21

The spring force is directed oppositely to the displacement. We can then write Hooke’s law as

Hooke’s Law

(Fsp)x = –k ∆x

Example Problem A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 22 cm. What is the value of the spring constant?

Slide 8-27

The same spring is now used in a tug-of-war. Two people pull on the ends, each with a force of 100 N. How long is the spring while it is being pulled?

Example Problem

The same spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2 kg block is attached to the bottom end. How long is the stretched spring?

Example Problem

Additional Example Problem A spring with spring constant k = 125 N/m is used to pull a 25 N wooden block horizontally across a tabletop. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is µk = 0.20. By how much does this spring stretch from its equilibrium length?

The Springiness of Materials: Young’s Modulus

The force exerted by a stretched or compressed rod has the same form as Hooke’s law:

Y is Young’s modulus, which depends on the material that the rod is made of.

F = L L YA
