34 Application of torque (a) Four forces are acting on an object that is free to rotate. The magnitudes are F₁ = 1 (N), F₂= 2 (N), F3 = 3 (N) and F₁ = 4 (N). The lever arms are r₁= 1 (m), r2 = 2 (m), 73=3 (m) and r₁= 4 (m). What is the total torque (with units!) on the object? Is it clockwise or counter-clockwise? F3 180 150

The hour hand and the minute hand of Big Ben, the Parliament tower clock in London, are 2.70 m and 4.50 m long and have masses of 60.0 kg and 100 kg, respectively (see Fig. P10.17). (a) Determine the total torque due to the weight of these hands about the axis of rotation when the time reads (i) 3:00, (ii) 5:15, (iii) 6:00, (iv) 8:20, and (v) 9:45. (You may model the hands as long, thin, uniform rods.) (b) Determine all times when the total torque about the axis of rotation is zero. Determine the times to the nearest second, solving a transcendental equation numerically.
A grinding wheel is in the form of a uniform solid disk of radius 7.00 cm and mass 2.00 kg. It starts from rest and accelerates uniformly under the action of the constant torque of 0.600 N m that the motor exerts on the wheel. (a) How long does the wheel take to reach its final operating speed of 1 200 rev/min? (b) Through how many revolutions does it turn while accelerating?
A constant net torque is applied to an object. Which one of the following will not be constant? (a) angular acceleration, (b) angular velocity, (c) moment of inertia, or (d) center of gravity.
The combination of an applied force and a friction force produces a constant total torque of 36.0 N m on a wheel rotating about a fixed axis. The applied force acts for 6.00 s. During this time, the angular speed of the wheel increases from 0 to 10.0 rad/s. The applied force is then removed, and the wheel comes to rest in 60.0 s. Find (a) the moment of inertia of the wheel, (b) the magnitude of the torque due to friction, and (c) the total number of revolutions of the wheel during the entire interval of 66.0 s.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a friction less, vertical axle. A constant tangential force of 250. N applied to its edge causes the wheel to have an angular acceleration of 0.940 rad/s2. (a) What is the moment of inertia of the wheel? (b) What is the mass of the wheel? (c) If the wheel starts from rest, what is its angular velocity after 5.00 s have elapsed, assuming the force is acting during that time?
An automobile engine can produce 200 N m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0% of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0 kg disk that has a 0.180 m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.
A worker applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.500 m long. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a force upward at an angle of 60.0 with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts has magnitude 80.0 N, what magnitude torque does she apply to the nut?
