What is Gravity?

W = mg

For a body of mass m near the surface of the earth, the gravitational attraction
F on the body is specified by W=m.g. We usually denote the magnitude of this
gravitational force or weight with the symbol W. Because the body falls with
an acceleration g.

Center of Mass
Consider a three-dimensional body of any size and shape, having a mass m.
If we suspend the body, as shown in Fig. 5/3, from any point such as A, the body will
be in equilibrium under the action of the tension in the cord and the resultant W of the
gravitational forces acting on all particles of the body.
This resultant is clearly collinear with the cord. Assume that we mark its position by
drilling a hypothetical hole of negligible size along its line of action.
For all practical purposes these lines of action will be concurrent at a single point G,
which is called the center of gravity of them body.

 A hanging light fixture has the following lights attached to
it: i) a 0.10 kg light at position 0.00 m, ii) a 0.20 kg light at
position 0.20 m, iii) a 0.80 kg light at position 0.80 m, and
iv) a 0.10 kg light at position 1.0 m. Where is the center of
mass?

Moment of Inertia
Moment of Inertia
When forces are distributed continuously over an
area on which they act, it is often necessary to
calculate the moment of these forces about some
axis either in or perpendicular to the plane of the
area.

That the total moment involves an integral of

form ʃ (distance)2 d (area). This integral is called
the moment of inertia or the second moment of
the area.

Mass Moments of Inertia
Consider a three-dimensional body of mass m as shown in Fig. B/1. The mass moment
of inertia I about the axis O–O is defined as

I = ʃ r2 dm

where r is the perpendicular distance of the mass element dm from the axis O – O and
where the integration is over the entire body. `
For a given rigid body the mass moment of inertia is a measure of the distribution of its
mass relative to the axis in question, and for that axis is a constant property of the body.
