Was the center of gravity of the meter stick exactly at the 50-cm mark? If not, why? Explain how the condition is satisfied for the meter stick in part A of the experiment.
The meter stick was not balanced at 50 cm mark, indeed it was at the 49.9 cm mark. It is not necessary for a meter stick to balance at the 50 cm mark, which might be due to non uniformity of mass.
To satisfy ΣF=0 , The fulcrum was placed on the center of gravity so the meterstick is balanced with a net force being 0. It means the fulcrum was moved to the point of balance in order to make the net force zero. Also, it is satisfied because the center of gravity, where the resultant weight of the body acts perpendicularly downward is counterbalanced by a number of forces acting upwards.
Clockwise and counter-clockwise are considered as a sense rather than a direction because it is only a viewpoint where its movemement of direction is always changing. It is assumed as a tangential velocity of different points on the same body that is spinning in all directions and does not describe the motion of the object. You cannot point to a direction and say, it is turning this way, so you have to sue a sense as opposed to direction.
Suppose the situation like Case 2(a) in the experiment, m
1
= 200 g were at the 20-cm position and m
2
= 100 g at the 65-cm position. Would there be a problem in experimentally balancing the system with m
3
= 50 g? Explain. If so, how might the problem be resolved?
In order to balance the meter stick about its centre of gravity in the given scenario, the concept of equilibrium of torques must be used.According to the equilibrium of torque, the net torque on it must be zero. This is possible only when the total clockwise torques is equal to total anti-clockwise torques.I n the given scenario, the mass m1=200g is placed to the left of the 50 cm mark and mass2= 100g is placed to the right of the 50 cm mark.
The distance of mass from the centre of mass is, x1= 50cm -20cm; x1=30 cm
The distance of mass from the centre of mass is, x2=65cm-50 cm; x2=15 cm Considering that the third mass (m3=50) is placed at an arbitrary position X3 from the centre of gravity and applying the equilibrium of torque about the center of gravity and consider the clockwise toque as negative and counter-clockwise torque as positive. Describe the effects of taking the mass of the meter stick into account when the balancing position is not near the 50-cm position.
If the equilibrium position is not directly in the center,we do not have an evenly distributed mass, we cannot simply assume gravity "acts" at the center of the stick. We have to provide additional calculations in order to determine the point where we can establish gravity "acts." For instance, if we have the equilibrium point at 52 cm, this means we have more "dense" mass from 52 cm to 100 cm, and the system will move in this direction.(assuming our axis of rotation is still in the center of the stick
Without this shift in equilibrium point from the axis of rotation, we would have no "net" torque, because if there was no shift, the weight would "act" on the axis of rotation itself. Therefore, there would be no angular displacement or velocity without this above situation occuring in some form.
(Optional: Extra credit up to 10 points) A uniform meter stick is in static rotational equilibrium when a mass of 220
g
is suspended from the 5.0-cm mark, a mass of 120 g
is suspended from the 90-cm mark, and the support stand is placed at the 40-cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?
m1*g*r1-m3*g*r3-m2*g*r2=0 m1*g*r1-m2*g*r2=m3*g*r3 (m1*r1-m2*r2)(r3)=m3 m3=(((0.220 kg)*(0.35 m))-((0.120 kg)(0.5 m)))/(0.1 m) m3=0.170 kg m3=170 g
