Question 1.
Define body forces in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think of forces like gravity or magnetic fields.
Question 2.
What is the formula for torque due to body forces?
Show hintHide hint
Recall the quantities represented in the equation related to density and acceleration.
3Question 3.
What are body forces?
- Forces acting on surfaces
- Forces acting throughout the volume
- None of the above
Show hintHide hint
Consider examples like gravity.
4Question 4.
Is the time derivative in angular momentum calculations easy to handle in control mass settings?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
What does control mass imply in calculations?
Question 5.
Consider a cuboid of mass 'm' subjected to gravitational pull. Derive the total torque about its centroid due to body forces.
Show hintHide hint
Remember, $T = r \\times F$. What simplifying assumptions can you make?
Question 6.
A rigid body is subjected to changing external forces. How would you derive the angular momentum balance in this scenario?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how you might express the external forces mathematically.
