Ch 3: Modeling of Rigid Body Mechanical Systems

Question	Answer
Dry friction force is non-conservative because the work done by the force depends on ______.	the path taken

For general planar motion, two force equations describe translational motion, and a _______ equation is needed to describe the rotational motion.	moment
The net moment M_G is caused by the action of the external forces and any _____ applied to the body.	couples
Sometimes it is more convenient to use a point of known _____ rather than the mass center or a ﬁxed point.	acceleration
______ is the same regardless of whether point O, G, or P is used.	angular acceleration α
