The Conditions of Rotary Motion

Chapter Objectives

At the conclusion of this chapter the student should be able to:

Name, define, and use the following terms properly as they relate to rotary motion: eccentric force, torque, couple, lever, moment of inertia, and angular momentum.

Solve simple lever and torque problems involving the human body and the implements it uses.

Demonstrate an understanding of the effective selection of levers by relating speed, range of motion, and mechanical advantage to the properties of given lever systems.

Explain the analogous kinetic relationships that exist between linear and rotary motion.

State Newton's laws of motion as they apply to rotary motion.

Explain the cause and effect relationship between the forces responsible for rotary motion and the objects experiencing the motion.

Define centripetal and centrifugal force, and explain the relationships that exist between these forces and the factors influencing them.

Identify the concepts of rotary motion that are critical elements in the successful performance of a selected motor skill.

Using the concepts that govern rotary motion, perform a mechanical analysis of a selected motor skill.
