      which acts in a counterclockwise direction, considered here to be positive.

      EXAMPLE 2‐1

      In Fig. 2-4a, a mass M is hung from the tip of the lever. Calculate the holding torque required to keep the lever from turning, as a function of angle θ in the range of 0–90°. Assume that M = 0.5 kg and r = 0.3 m.

       Solution

      The gravitational force on the mass is shown in Fig. 2-4b. For the lever to be stationary, the net force perpendicular to the lever must be zero, i.e. f = M g cos β where g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration. Note in Fig. 2-4b that β = θ. The holding torque Th must be Th = f r = M g r cos θ. Substituting the numerical values,

      1 Calculate the moment‐of‐inertia J of a solid cylinder that is free to rotate about its axis, as shown in Fig. 2-6a, in terms of its mass M and the radius r1.

      2 Given that a solid steel cylinder has a radius r1 = 6 cm, length ℓ = 18 cm, and material density ρ = 7.85 × 103 kg/m3, calculate its moment‐of‐inertia J.

       Solution

      1 From Newton’s Law of Motion, in Fig. 2-6a, to accelerate a differential mass dM at a radius r, the net differential force df required in a perpendicular (tangential) direction, from Eq. (2-1), is(2-11)

      where the linear speed u in terms of the angular speed ωm (in rad/s) is

      (2-15)equation

      The net torque acting on the cylinder can be obtained by integrating over all differential elements in terms of r, θ, and as

      (2-16)equation

      Carrying out the triple integration yields

      (2-20)equation

      1 Substituting r1 = 6 cm, length ℓ = 18 cm, and ρ = 7.85 × 103 kg/m3 in Eq. (2-19), the moment‐of‐inertia Jcyl of the cylinder in Fig. 2-5a is
