Mastering Rotational Mechanics for IIT Droppers"

AI Thread Summary
Understanding rotational mechanics is crucial for IIT entrance exams, but specific questions are necessary for effective help. It's important to clarify where forces, such as torque and moment of inertia, act on a body. Basic concepts, like the application of forces at the center of mass, should be reviewed before tackling advanced problems. Engaging with foundational resources, like HC Verma, is recommended for better comprehension. Clear and focused inquiries will yield more productive assistance in mastering this topic.

please help me in solving ratational mechanics :rolleyes:. i am not able to understand where to apply moment of interia or torque acting on the body?:confused:

i am a dropper & rotational is very important from iit(competitive exam) view. pleasez help:frown

1. No one can help you if you do not have a SPECIFIC question.

2. You should not expect a WHOLE LESSON on rotational mechanics on a public forum that you could have received in a class or from a textbook.

3. If this is a homework/coursework related question, you should post it in the Homework/Coursework forum, not on here.

4. Members on here are NOT allowed to give outright solutions and answers. You need to show them what you know, what you can do, and where exactly you got stuck. If you cannot do that, then no one will be able to help.

5. Go easy on those unnecessary formatting. The LAST thing you want to do when you seek help is to resort to annoying, unneeded formatting.

6. Read the https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5374".

Zz.

Okay:
So, if I have understood you correctly, you do not understand where a particular force acts.

This will usually be given, but it is helpful to remember that a force that acts equally strong on all parts of an object, like gravity and any fictititious forces, therefore can be regarded to act upon the centre of mass of the object.
 
you should be particular in your question.Any way try basic problems from HC VERMA before you go to advanced level.
 
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...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
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?
