| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Rule 6.1 (Magnitude of translational acceleration and rotational acceleration) | The magnitude of the forces applied to an object determines the amount of translational acceleration that will occur. The amount of torque applied to an object determines the amount of rotational acceleration that will occur. |
| When do you ignore an object's weight? | When dealing with rotational equilibrium, always ignore the weight of the object that is rotating. |
| Rule 6.2 (torques: positive or negative?) | Torques that cause clockwise motion are considered negative torques, while torques that cause counterclockwise motion are considered positive torques. |
