Question
A 3.40 m long , 635 kg steel beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A 87 kg construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N m) about the point where the beam is bolted in place? Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2.
