A 21 g ball with a radius of 30 mm rolls back and forth in a hemispherical bowl of radius 6 cm. Hint: This problem requires connecting the orbital angular momentum (from the "swing") to the spin angular momentum (from the rolling ball) through the instantaneous speed of the object. (a) What is the period of the oscillation if the ball is solid? 0.4109 s x (b) What is the period of the oscillation if the ball is hollow? 0.4483 s X (c) What is the percent difference between the two? 8.34% X
Rigid Body
A rigid body is an object which does not change its shape or undergo any significant deformation due to an external force or movement. Mathematically speaking, the distance between any two points inside the body doesn't change in any situation.
Rigid Body Dynamics
Rigid bodies are defined as inelastic shapes with negligible deformation, giving them an unchanging center of mass. It is also generally assumed that the mass of a rigid body is uniformly distributed. This property of rigid bodies comes in handy when we deal with concepts like momentum, angular momentum, force and torque. The study of these properties – viz., force, torque, momentum, and angular momentum – of a rigid body, is collectively known as rigid body dynamics (RBD).
