Kinetics, the study of unbalanced forces causing motion, can be analyzed by three methods: inertia force or torque (dynamic equilibrium), work and energy, and impulse and momentum.
Consider the following as you complete your assignment:
For linear motion the inertia force is
Equal to ma
Acting through the center of gravity
Opposite in direction to the acceleration
For rotational motion the inertia torque is
Equal to C
Opposite in direction to the angular acceleration
For a plane motion problem such as a rolling cylinder, try to
Equate or relate linear acceleration to angular acceleration.
Take moments at the rolling point of contact with the surface.
