The document discusses the concepts of force, motion, and the moment of force (torque) in relation to rigid bodies. It explains the two types of motion caused by force: linear (translational) and rotational, and details how the turning effect of a force depends on its magnitude and the perpendicular distance from the pivot point. Additionally, it outlines the conditions for equilibrium and the principle of moments, emphasizing the importance of both the resultant force and the sum of moments for a body to remain in a state of rest or uniform motion.

‘You must have experienced that on applying

greater force is required to open the door and
if the force is applied at the hinge R, you are
not able to open the door howsoever lange the

torque is zero). Thus, itis for this reason that
the handle P is provided near the free end of

conclude that the turning of @ body about an axis
depends riot only on the magnitude of force, but
it also depends on the perpendictlat distance of
the line of action of the applied force from the
axis of rotation, Larger the perpendicular distance,
less is the force needed to produce the same
turning effect and vice-versa.
1.3 COUPLE
A single force alone does not cause rotation of
a pivoted body. Actually rotation és always produced
4y a pair of forces. In the above examples, rotation
foveurs due to the force externally applied and the
force of the reaction at the pivoted point. The force
df reaction produced at the pivot is equal in
hagnitude but opposite in direction to the applied
ree. The moment of the force of reaction about
Je pivot is zero because its distance from the axis
F rotation is zero, so the force of reaction at the
ed point (or pivot) is not explicitly shown in
£. 13 to Fig. 1.8. The pair of forces, formed
the extemal force and the force of reaction,
called a couple. Thus, wo equal and opposite

1.7 UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION
When a paricle moves with a constant speed
in a@ circular path, its motion is said to be
1wiiform circular motion. In Such a motion, a particle
travels equal distances along the circular path in
equal intervals of time, so the speed of particle is
uniform, but the direction of motion of the particle
changes at each point of the circular path. The
ontinuous change in the direction of motion implies
haat the velocity of the particle is non-uniform (or
lariable) i.e., the motion is accelerated.
