Rigid body
Rigid body:
A “rigid” object, for which the position of each point relative
to all other points in the body does not change.
Example:
Solid: Rigid body
Liquid: Not rigid body
negative, etc.
• Each point of the body moves around θ Reference
the axis in a circle with some specific x line rotates
radius with body

• Net change in the angular coordinate fixed to body
parallel to z-axis
Arc length: Δs
• Measures distance covered by a point as it moves Reference line rotating with body
through Δθ (constant r) y

PP10606-49*: When she is launched from a springboard, a diver's angular speed
about her center of mass changes from zero to 6.20 rad/s in 220 ms. Her rotational
inertia about her center of mass is constant at 12.0 kg·m2. During the launch, what

Example of energy conservation
Axis of rotation
Example
A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is
pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one
end of the rod. (The moment of inertia of the rod about
this axis is ML2/3.)) The rod is released when it makes an
angle of 37° with the horizontal. What is the angular
acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released?
