OBJECTIVES CHAPTER EIGHT

   When you have finished studying chapter eight you should be able to:

*8.1

	define and write the  equation for torque
	given a pivot point or axis of  rotation find and sketch (free-body) the lever arm
	given a pivot point or axis of rotation calculate the lever arm and torque of a force
	identify the direction of a torque in 2 and 3 dimension
	calculate the net torque on a given object

*8.2 and 8.4

state and explain the first and second conditions for static and dynamic equilibrium

using appropriate free-body diagrams and labels apply the first and second condition for equilibrium to solve a variety of equilibrium problems

*8.5

	define and explain the concept of moment of inertia
	calculate the moment of inertia for discrete masses
	to apply the concept of moment of inertia to rotating objects
	state and apply Newton's second law for rotation
	state and apply the "Big Five" equations of motion for rotation
	state and apply equation for rotational Kinetic energy
	state and apply equation for angular momentum
	identify and sketch (using appropriate notation) the direction of torque, angular momentum, angular velocity, and angular acceleration.
	solve kinematic/dynamic problems involving rotation--Big Five, conservation of energy, conservation of momentum,..
	see the example problems in the text, practice quiz, and in-class quiz for some examples
