What you'll learn
How to calculate torque, center of mass, and solve equilibrium problems
Requirements
Basic understanding of Forces, Vectors, and Newton's Laws
Description
This course covers torque, center of mass, rigid bodies in equilibrium, and the stability of objects. The course is a mix of lectures and problem solving tutorials. Students will learn to how to calculate torque, how to evaluate the center of mass of systems of particles and objects with uniform density. I will teach you how to approach problems and help you develop your own problem solving strategies to become a better problem solver.
Part 1: Torque
What is torque?
Understand how torque is different from forces
Calculate torque using 3 different techniques (standard methods, force components, and moment arms)
Several example problems to practice
Part 2: Center of Mass
Learn how to find the center of mass of symmetric objects
Calculating the center of mass of systems of particles in 1D, 2D, and 3D.
Practice problems
Part 3: Static Equilibrium
Conditions for Static Equilibrium
Problem solving strategies
Picking the right pivot location
Several example problems to practice the problem solving techniques.
Part 4: Various Problem Section
Practice solving Torque and center of mass problems and compare your answers to those of Physics Ninja
Section contains conceptual questions and algebraic questions ranging from easy to very challenging.
