Question

While rotating an object or while opening a door or a water tap we apply a force or forces.

While rotating an object or while opening a door or a water tap we apply a force or forces. Under which conditions is this process easy for us? Why? Define the vector quantity concerned. How does it differ for a single force and for two opposite forces with different lines of action?

1. Opening a door can be done with ease if the force applied is:

proportional to the mass of the object
far away from the axis of rotation and the direction of force is perpendicular to the line joining the axis of rotation with the point of application of force.

2. This is because, the rotational ability of a force depends not only upon the magnitude and direction of force but also on the point where the force acts with respect to the axis of rotation.

3. Rotating an object like a water tap can be done with ease if the two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction are applied along different lines of action.

4. The ability of a force to produce rotational motion is measured by its turning effect called ‘moment of force’ or ‘torque’.

5. However, a moment of couple or rotational effect of a couple is also called torque.

6. For differences in the two vector quantities.

No.	Moment of a force	Moment of a couple
i.	Moment of a force is given as, \(\vec{τ}=\vec{r} \times \vec{F}\)	Moment of a couple is given as, \(\vec{r} =\vec{r}_{12} \times \vec{F_1} =\vec{r}_{21} \times \vec{F_2}\)
ii.	It depends upon the axis of rotation and the point of application of the force.	It depends only upon the two forces, i.e., it is independent of the axis of rotation or the points of application of forces.
iii.	It can produce translational acceleration also, if the axis of rotation is not fixed or if friction is not enough.	Does not produce any translational acceleration, but produces only rotational or angular acceleration.
iv.	Its rotational effect can be balanced by a proper single force or by a proper couple.	Its rotational effect can be balanced only by another couple of equal and opposite torque.
