Vector Relationships between Linear and Angular Variables:
The relationship between linear and angular variables are give as follows:
(i) Angular momentum of a particle about a given axis passing through origin is defined as:
where, ‘r’ is the radius of the path and ‘p’ is the linear momentum.
(ii) The angular momentum of a collection of particles is the sum of the angular momentum of
each particle:
Here, Ri is the radius vector of ith particle and mi and Vi are the mass and velocity of the ith particle
respectively.
(iii) The time derivative of angular momentum is called torque:
Here F is the force acting on the system. Now requiring the system to be "closed" here is
mathematically equivalent to zero external torque acting on the system:
(iv)
Here, ‘r’ is the radius of the path, v
is the linear velocity, and ω is the angular
velocity.
(v) Relation between positionθ & displacement s
