Annotation
This book "Text book of Rotational Mechanics" cover the syllabi of B.Sc. (Pass & Honours) and Engineering students of various universities in India. The Mathematical description of the book is based on the Vector Analysis provided an efficient short Hand for Writing Physics and at the same time makes it possible to visualise the Physical meaning of concepts and Laws distinctly and exactly. Hence, the vactor treatment becomes necessary. The emphasis is on the basic physics with some instructive, stimulative and useful applications. Keeping the view the recent trend of various examinations particularly competitive once, illustrative objective questions are added at the end of each chapter in addition to problems and reviews questions. Contents, 1. DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES : Rigid Body-Translational and Rotational Motion; Torque; Angular Momentum Angular Impulse; General Theorems on Moment of Inertia; Calculation of Moment of Inertia; Moment of Inertia-Radius of Gyration; Dimensions and Units of Moment of Inertia; Analogous Parameters in Translational and Rotational Motion; Particular Cases of Moment of Inertia; The Gyrostat; Kinetic Energy of Rotation; Moment of Inertia of a Flywheel-Experimental Determination; Gyrostatic Applications; Precession; Rotational Energy States or a Diatomic Molecule; Moment of Inertia of a Diatomic Molecule 2. GRAVITATION Fields AND POTENTIALS (INVERSE SQUARE Law FORCES-FUNDAMENTAL LENGTHS AND NUMBERS)
