negaitve mass

these days i am seeing a lot of sums being solved by a rather new concept negative mass can anyone expln to me its basic theory and its working and applications and if possible any buk over it

principle of superposition.......thats the only issue in this concept !
suppose you want to find the gravitational field intensityl at a point due to a figure that has some mass removed from it(i.e. a cavity) ...what you do is imagine that the entire mass is there and then place a mass with a negative sign in the place of the cavity ! then you get exactly the same thing as the given figure ! find the grav field intensity at the point due to the entire mass and the negative mass separately,,,add them up , vectorially, and get the answer !

Good explanation by debotosh..

to add to it.. i mean an example.. read this one..

wat is the moment of inertia of a circular arc placed L distance from a fixed axis.mass of arc is m.

What is the orientation of the arc..

can you be slightly more precise.. cos the answer could vary a lot depending on the orientation!

arc is a pat of a aring

arc is rotating with angular speed w around axis

aree give the complete information, we require the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle !!!!

arc is on the plane perpendiclar to axis

oh so its jsut whats there in dc pandey a more fancy name i had already studied t

It is simply mL2

because eeach element of the arc is at a distance of r from the axis

so the total moment of inertia is ∫dm.L2 which is simply mL2

whatt is moment of inertia if arc is a part of disc

mL2 / 2
