| |
| Address questions regarding Assignment #14. |
| |
| Review the concept of mass moment of inertia by integration and through the use of |
| composite body formulas and the parallel axis theorem as discussed in R/S Chapter 10 |
| (pp. 584-595). |
| |
| Review the calculation of moments through the use of both cross products and scalar |
| components, and briefly discuss the concept of the couple as presented in R/S Chapter 4 |
| (pp. 125-136, 109-115, 148-154). |
| |
| Examples are presented in Worked Problem Set #15. |
| Skills/Objectives: |
| |
| Calculate mass moments of inertia for composite bodies using the parallel axis theorem |
| and calculate moments of forces about points. |
| Assessment: |
| |
| Homework Set #15: 10-97, 98, 101 and 107 (due on Day 16). |
| Resources: |
| |
| R/S Chapter 10 (pp. 584-595), R/S Chapter 4 (pp. 125-136, 109-115, 148-154). |
| Notes: |
| |
| It is assumed that the students have received adequate instruction in the calculation of |
| mass moments of inertia using integration techniques in Calculus classes. Therefore, the |
| homework and worked problems focus on composite body solutions. |
| |
| The discussion on moments and couples should also be reviewed. |
| Advanced Organizers: |
| |
| Read Glover Chapter 6 (pp. 135-165). |
