A 3.0-m rod is pivoted about its left end. A force of 6.0 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance of 1.2 m from the pivot causing a ccw torque, and a force of 5.2 N is applied at the end of the rod 3.0 m from the pivot. The 5.2 N is at an angle of 25 degrees to the rod and causes a cw torque. What is the net torque about the pivot? Choose – 6.3 Nm –1.7 Nm 0.6 Nm – 0.6 Nm
The figure shows a jet engine suspended beneath the wing of an airplane. The weight of the engine is 10100 N and acts ash shown in the figure.
