How Does a Cube Exhibit Rotational Motion?

AI Thread Summary
Rotational motion for a cube involves understanding its moment of inertia around different axes. Unlike circular shapes, cubes exhibit unique rotational dynamics due to their geometry. Resources and examples can clarify these concepts, particularly focusing on how the cube rotates about its axes. A recommended source for further information is a specific link that provides detailed explanations on the subject. Understanding these principles is essential for grasping the rotational behavior of three-dimensional objects like cubes.

rotational motion

I have a problem with describe rotational motion for the cube, i met the rotational motion for the circle shapes but cube is somthing new, so if u know any sources, exampels or solution and book where i can find descirbe of rotational motion for cube pliss give me a sign or links for websides.

I presume you're looking for information on the moment of inertia for various body axes of the cube.

http://maths.dur.ac.uk/~dma0cvj/mathphys/supplements/supplement2/supplement2.html has some info.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
