Van de Graaff Generator

The principle of van de Graff generator is based on the property of conductors that net charge on a conductor resides on the outer surface of the conductor.

[QUE/ME-02009] Successive Rotations

Node id: 3203page

Read the following theorem of  Rodrigues and Hamilton taken from Whittaker,  Sec2-3.

  The theorem of Rodrigues and Hamilton.Any two successive rotations about a fixed point can be compounded intoa single rotation by means of a theorem, which may be stated as follows:Successive rotations about three concurrent lines fixed in space, through twice the angles of the planes formed by them, restore a body to its original position. For let the lines be denoted by OP, OQ, OR. Draw. Op, Oq, Orperpendicular to the planes QOR, ROP, POQ respectively. Then if a body isrotated through two right angles about Oq, and afterwards through two rightangles about Or, the position of OP is on the whole unaffected, while Oq ismoved to the position occupied by its image in the line Or; the effect is therefore the same as that of a rotation round OP through twice the anglebetween the planes PR and PQ, which we may call the angle RPQ. It follows that successive rotations round OP, OQ, OR through twice the angles RPQ, PQR, QRP, respectively, are equivalent to successive rotations through two right angles about the lines Oq, Or, Or, Op, Op, Oq; but the latter rotations will clearly on the whole produce no displacement; which establishes the theorem.
Quoted from Whittaker

Now solve  the following problem. Following  two rotations are preformed in succession\\ (i) rotation by angle \(\alpha\) about axis \(\hat{n}\);\\ (ii) rotation by angle \(\beta\) about axis \(\hat{m}\).\\ Find the angle and axis of rotation that will produce the same result as the combined effect of above two rotations.

LFM-CM-02 Frictional force

Node id: 3301page

Question: Is the frictional force a force of constraint? What is the virtual work done by  frictional forces?

The principle of virtual work and D' Almebert's principle eliminate constraint forces making use of the fact that these forces do no work. What about friction? Is it a force of constraint in this sense? You find discussion of such fine details only in work of masters. See Sommerfeld \(\S\) II.8, p54.

Sommerfeld writes:
...  we shall talk about the force of friction, which must be sometimes counted among the forces of reaction, sometimes among applied forces. It is a force of reaction if it occurs as static friction; applied force if it occurs as sliding or kinetic friction. Static friction is  automatically eliminated by the principle of virtual work; kinetic friction must be introduced as an applied force. An external indication of this is the occurrence of the experimental constant \(\mu\) in the law of sliding friction.
