It is denoted by Ʈ (torque).
Ʈ=f * d
1. Magnitude of force
2. Perpendicular distance
Couple: Two equal and parallel forces not act along a same line forms
a couple.
Types of EQUILIBRIUM:
CONDITIONS FOR EQUILIBRIUM:
1. The algebraic sum of moment of all the force acting on the body about
the point of rotation should be zero.
2. The resultant of all the forces acting on the body should be equal to
zero.
PRINCIPLE OF MOMENT:
CENTRE OF GRAVITY:
When a particle moves with a constant speed in a circular path its motion is
used to be uniform circular motion.
CHAPTER-2
WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
WORK: It is the product of force to the displacement.
SI unit is Watt.
W=F.d=m.a.d
W=m.a.d=m.d.v2f−v2i2d=m.v2f−v2i2d=12.m.v2f−12.m.v2i
K.E=12mv2
Alternately, one can say that the total work that is done on a system is
equivalent to the change in kinetic energy. This statement is equated
as follows:
Wnet=ΔK
ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the
process of changing energy from one form to another.
In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to
perform work (e.g. Lifting an object) or provides heat.
CHAPTER-3
SIMPLE MACHINES
MACHINE: A machine is a device that helps to make work easier.
TYPES OF MACHINES
3 PULLEY 6 WEDGE
PULLEY:
The original primary use for pulleys was to make it easier to lift heavy
items. A pulley is a simple machine made with a wheel and a rope,
cord, or chain.
A pulley which has its axis of rotation fixed in position is called a fixed
pulley
◦ M.A. = V.R. = 1
◦ Mass of the string and friction in the pulley bearing are ignored
A single fixed pulley is used only to change the direction of the force
applied i.e., the effort can be applied in a more convenient direction
The weight of the pulley itself does not affects its M.A
Combination of pulleys:
Let w be the total weight of the lower block along with pulleys
◦ ηη = 1 – wEwE
For greater efficiency, the pulleys in the lower block should be as light
as possible
TECHNICAL TERMS:

loss of energy in any manner. always less than the input energy.

REFRACTION OF LIGHT AT PLANE SURFACES.
Refraction of light
The change in direction of the path of light, when it passes from one
transparent medium to another transparent medium, is called
refraction. Refraction of light is essentially a surface phenomenon.
Important points
Important terms
The angle of incidence (i) – The angle between the normal and incident
ray.
The angle of refraction (r) – The angle between the normal and
refracted ray.
The incident ray, the normal and the refracted ray, all lie on the same
plane.
For a given pair of media, the ratio of the sine angle of incidence to the
sine of angle of refraction is a constant.
Refractive index
Principle of reversibility
The visible light or the white light which when passes through a prism
is segregated into its constituent colours namely violet, indigo, blue,
green, yellow, orange, and red. This phenomenon is known as the
dispersion of light. This dispersion occurs due to the varying refraction
angles of lights of different colours when passed through a transparent
medium. Red colour refracts the least while violet colour refracts the
most.
In this topic, you will learn more about refraction through the prism
with the help of a diagram and also the concept of angle of deviation.
i=e
r1=r2r1=r2
dmindmin = dmdm = 2i – A
Angle of prism – higher the angle, the greater the angle of deviation.
Wavelength of light used – higher the wavelength, the lesser the angle
of deviation.
OA = real depth
Al = apparent depth
Ol = shift
The incident angle for which the refraction angle is above 90° is known
as the critical angle.
In this topic, you will study few more interesting facts about the
critical angle and total internal reflection.
A prism of each angle 60o can be used to deviate a light ray through
60o by total internal reflection.
A 30o, 90o, 60o prism can be used to deviate a light ray (incident on the
side opposite to the 30o refracting angle) through an angle less than
60o by total internal reflection.
The light ray incident on the hypotenuse or the side opposite to the
60o refracting angle does not suffer internal reflection but obeys the
laws of refractions.
CHAPTER-5
REFRACTION THROUGH LENSES
Lens:
Type of Lens:
· A convex lens bends the ray of light towards its middle i.e. it
converges the light.
· A concave lens bends the ray of light towards its edges i.e. it
diverges the light.
Important terms
In this topic, you will study about rules of refraction through lens,
difference between real and virtual images and image formation by
convex and concave lens.
Rule 2
· A ray of light passing through the principal focus (first focal point),
after refraction from a convex lens, will emerge parallel to the principal
axis.
· A ray of light appearing to meet at the principal focus (first focal
point) of a concave lens, after refraction, will emerge parallel to the
principal axis.
Rule 3
· A ray of light passing through the optical centre of a lens will
emerge without any deviation.
The capacity of a lens to bend light defines the lens power. The
refraction of light is increased with the increase in
lens power. Dioptres is the unit to measure lens power.
The point on which all parallel rays of light converge is the focal point
of a convex lens.The distance between the centre of a convex lens and
the focal point of a lens is the focal length.The focal length of a convex
lens can be determined by the distant object method.
The point where light rays parallel to the principal axis appear to
diverge from after passing through the concave lens is the focal point
of a concave lens. The distance between concave lens to the focal
point is the focal length of the concave lens. The focal point of a
concave lens is virtual as light does not actually pass through the
point.
