A particle is to move in an xy plane, clockwise around the origin as seen from the positive side of the z axis. In unit vector notation, what torque acts on the particle if the magnitude of its angular momentum about the origin is (a) 4.0 kg x m^2/s, (b) 4.0t^2 kg x m^2/s, (c) 4.0 sqrt(t) kg x m^2/s, and (d) 4.0/t^2 kg x m^2/s

Answer:

a) τ =0,  b)  τ = 4.0 N m , c) τ = 2 / √t,  d)   τ = 2 t    N m

Explanation:

Angular momentum and torque are related by the equation.

       τ  =dL / dt

Bold indicates vectors, as time is a scalar, the direction of L is the same as the direction of the torque

Let's analyze each case presented

a) L = 4.0 kg m2 / s

As L is constant

    dL / dt = 0

    τ= 0

b) L = 4 t

     dL / dt = 4

     τ = 4.0 N m

c) L = 4 √ t

   dL / dt = 4 ½ 1/√t = 2 / √ t

   τ = 2 / √ t

d) L = 4 t²

   dL / dt = 4 (2t)

   τ = 2 t    N m

The torques are as given below:

(a) 0

(b) 8t Nm

(c) 2/[tex]\sqrt{t}[/tex] Nm

(d) -8/t³ Nm

Torque:

The torque acting on a body is defined as the rate of change of angular momentum, mathematically it is expressed as follows:

[tex]\tau=\frac{dL}{dt}[/tex]

where L is the angular momentum of the body.

(a) L = 4 kgm²/s

then torque is:

[tex]\tau=\frac{dL}{dt}=0[/tex]

when the angular momentum is constant, the torque acting on a body is zero.

(b) L = 4t² kgm²/s

then, torque is:

[tex]\tau=\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(4t^2)\\\\\tau=8t \;Nm[/tex]

(c) L = 4√t kgm²/s

then, torque is:

[tex]\tau=\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(4\sqrt{t} )\\\\\tau=\frac{2}{\sqrt{t} } \;Nm[/tex]

(d) L = 4/t² kgm²/s

then, torque is:

[tex]\tau=\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\frac{4}{t^2}\\\\\tau=\frac{-8}{t^3} \;Nm[/tex]
