Chapter 14, Problem 14D.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expression for moment of inertia and the radii of gyration of a uniform thin disk has to be derived.

Concept introduction:

The moment of inertia of a object about an axis passing through the centre of mass is directly proportional to the mass of each particle present in the object and the distance of each particle from center of mass.  The expression for moment of inertia is shown below.

Figure 1

The total mass of the disk is given by the expression as shown below.

    M=ρπR2

Where,

  • ρ is the density of the disk.
  • R is the radius of the disk.

The mass of a particle in disk is given by the expression as shown below.

    m=ρπr2

Where,

  • ρ is the density of the disk.
  • r is the distance of the particle from center of mass.

The component of moment of inertia of disk in x axis and y axis is equal and component of moment of inertia in z axis is zero.

The component of moment of inertia in x is shown below.

    Ix=0Rmrdr

Substitute the value of m in the above equation.

    Ix=0Rρπr2rdr=ρπ0Rr3dr=ρπ[r44]0R=ρπ[R440]

The above equation is further simplified as shown below.

    Ix=ρπ(R44)=ρπR2(R24)                                     [M=ρπR2]=M(R24)

The moment of inertia of uniform disk is given by the expression as shown below.

    I=Ix+Iy+Iz        (1)

Where,

  • Ix is the component of moment of inertia of disk in x axis.
  • Iy is the component of moment of inertia of disk in y axis.
  • Iz is the component of moment of inertia of disk in z axis.

Substitute the values of Ix, Iy and Iz in the above equation.

    I=M(R24)+M(R24)+0=M(2)(R24)=M(R22)

The relation between moment of inertia and radius of gyration (Rg) is shown below.

    Rg=IM

Substitute the value of I and M in the above expression.

    Rg=M(R22)M=R(2)1/2

Figure 2

The total mass of the rod is given by the expression as shown below.

    M=ρL

Where,

  • ρ is the density of the rod.
  • L is the length of the rod.

    m=ρx

Where,

  • ρ is the density of the rod.
  • x is the distance of the particle from center of mass.

The component of moment of inertia is shown below.

    I=0Lmx2dx

Substitute the value of m in the above equation.

    I=0Lρx2xdx=ρ0Lr3dr=ρ[x33]0L=ρ[L330]

The above equation is further simplified as shown below.

    I=ρ(L33)=ρL(L23)                                     [M=ρL]=M(L23)

The relation between moment of inertia and radius of gyration (Rg) is shown below.

    Rg=IM

ATKINS' PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY-ACCESS, Chapter 14, Problem 14D.4P , additional homework tip  3

Figure 3

The total mass of the sphere is given by the expression as shown below.

    M=ρ(43πR3)

Where,

  • ρ is the density of the sphere.
  • R is the radius of the sphere.

The moment of inertia of the small disk is given by the expression as shown below.

    dI=πρy4dz2

Where,

  • y is the distance of particle in y axis from center of mass.
  • z is the distance of particle in x axis from center of mass.

The relation between y and z is shown below.

    y2=R2z2

The moment of inertia is shown below.

    I=dI

Substitute the value of dI in the above equation.

    I=RRπρy4dz2

    I=RRπρ(R2z2)2dz2=RRπρ(R4+z42R2z2)2dz2=12πρ[R4z23R2z3+z5]0R

The above equation is further simplified as shown below.

    I=RRπρ(R2z2)2dz2=RRπρ(R4+z42R2z2)2dz2=12πρ[R4z23R2z3+z5]0R=2×45×3πρR3×R2
