A5.0 kg and 7.0 kg weight are placed on opposite ends of a massless 4.0 m rod (5.0 kg on the left, 7.0 kg on the right). determine the total moment of inertia of the system and net torque if
the axis of rotation is halfway between the two masses
the axis of rotation is 0.50 m to the left of the 7.0 kg weight.
which axis of rotation produces the most torque and why?

Answer from: ennaturan

Axis of rotation in case 2 produces the most torque than case 1

Explanation:

Moment of inertia is a quantity that determines the torque needed for a required angular acceleration about a rotational axis.

formula wise its mass multiplied by the square of distance of it from the axis of rotation.

⇒ $I=mr^{2}$

for n number of discreet bodies, $I=\sum mr^{2}$

for a rigid body, $I=\int\limits {\delta mr^{2}} \, dr$

And $\tau=I\alpha$

where, $\tau$ is torque

is moment of inertia and

$\alpha$ is angular acceleration

Now coming to the problem,

Case 1(When the axis of rotation is halfway between the two masses):

$I=5*2^{2}+7*2^{2}$

=20+28

$=48kgm^{2}$

Case 2(When the axis of rotation is 0.50 m to the left of the 7.0 kg weight):

$I=5*3.5^{2}+7*0.5^{2}$

=61.25+1.75

$=63kgm^{2}$

From $\tau=I\alpha$ we know that $\tau$ is proportional to when angular acceleration is constant which means axis of rotation in case 2 produces the most torque than case 1 because moment of inertia in case 2 is more than that of case 1

Is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
