Centre Of Percussion : [Meerut 1990,94,93,82,80,76] If a bedy , rotating about a given axis, is so struck that there is no impulsive pressure on’ the axis, then any point on the line of action of the force is called a centre of percussion. If the line of action of the blow is known, the axis about which the body begins to turn is called the axis of spontaneous rotation. Obviously this combines with the position of the fixed axis in the first case. 211. Centre of Percussion of a rod : [Meerut 1996,75] Consider a rod AB of length 2b.

General Case of Centre of Percussion : Let us take the fixed axis as the axis of y. Also let centre of gravity g lie in the xy plane, so that coordinates of G are (¥, 7,0). If-Q is the point where the blow is applied then take a plane through Q and perp. to xy -plane as the xz-plane so that coordinates of @ may be (E,0,0). Now consider any other point P of mass m of the body at a distance r from Oy at any angle @ with z-axis. The coordinates of P will be x= rsin @,y= const.,z= rcos ®, If before the blow, angular velocity is @ and the velocity component along the axes are u, v, w respectively, then we have X= w= rcos0,6 = 20, = v= 0,2 = w= -rsin@.6 = -x0, If after the blow, the angular velocity is @ and velocity component along the axes becomes as u’,v’,w’, then u’= 20',v'= Ow’ = - x0".

Hence the blow must be perp. to x)= plane which contains the fixed axis and the instantaneous position of the centt® of gravity. Also we see that F='0 and D= 0 which implies that the y+ axis which is also the axis of the body is a principal axis. at the poit! where the plane through the line of action of the blow perp. to the fixed a which that thei distance “from the Sol.
