h1. Single-Axis Rotation of a Rigid Body

h4. {toggle-cloak:id=desc} Description and Assumptions

{cloak:id=desc}
This model is applicable to a _single_ [rigid body|rigid body] that is rotating about a fixed axis or else both rotating and translating in such a way that its [angular momentum|angular momentum about a single axis] is a one-dimensional vector (usually taken to lie along the z-axis). As a special case, this model is also useful to constrain the forces acting on a static rigid body.  It is a subclass of the [Angular Momentum and External Torque about a Single Axis] model defined by the constraint that the system consists of only one rigid body which has a fixed mass and a fixed moment of inertia for rotations about the fixed axis or its center of mass.

h4. {toggle-cloak:id=cues} Problem Cues

{cloak:id=cues}
This [model|model] is useful for a stationary object (the special case of _statics_).  In that case, both the linear [acceleration|acceleration] _a_ and the angular acceleration α are zero, and there is the additional freedom that the [axis|axis of rotation] can be placed at any point in the object.  For accelerating objects, the model is commonly used in cases where a single object is placed in a situation where the forces are well understood, such as a cylinder rolling down an inclined plane or a sphere rolling along level ground.  Often, the linear and angular accelerations will be related by the [rolling without slipping] condition.

Only external torques need be considered, as internal torques do not produce angular accelerations.  Since torque is needed, forces must be specified not only by their magnitude and direction, but also by either their point of application or [moment arm] with respect to the [axis of rotation].  To use this model, the axis of rotation must be chosen to coincide with the
fixed axis if one is present, or to pass through the body's [center of mass] if the body is free to translate.

System: One rigid body rotating about a fixed axis or rotating and translating such that its angular momentum is constrained to one-dimension and the moment of inertia about its center of mass is constant. — Interactions: Any that respect the one-dimensional angular momentum.
Introduction to the Model
Description and Assumptions
This model is applicable to a single rigid body that is rotating about a fixed axis or else both rotating and translating in such a way that its angular momentum is a one-dimensional vector (usually taken to lie along the z-axis). As a special case, this model is also useful to constrain the forces acting on a static rigid body. It is a subclass of the Angular Momentum and External Torque about a Single Axis model defined by the constraint that the system consists of only one rigid body which has a fixed mass and a fixed moment of inertia for rotations about the fixed axis or its center of mass.
Learning Objectives
Students will be assumed to understand this model who can:
S.I.M. Structure of the Model
Compatible Systems
One rigid body whose moment of inertia calculated about the chosen axis of rotation is constant.
Relevant Interactions
Only external torques need be considered, as internal torques do not produce angular accelerations. Since torque is needed, forces must be specified not only by their magnitude and direction, but also by either their point of application or moment arm with respect to the axis of rotation. Allowed choices of the axis of rotation will depend upon the specific 
 circumstances of the problem:
