The meter stick shown below rotates about an axis through the point marked, 20 cm from one end. Five forces act on the stick: one at each end, one at the pivot point, and two 40 cm from one end, as shown. The magnitudes of the forces are all the same. Rank the forces according to the magnitudes of the torques they produce about the pivot point, least to greatest. 0 cm 20 cm 40 cm 60 cm 80 cm 100 cm Fand Fs tie, then F. F₁. F Fand Fs tie, then F₁. then F₁ and F, tie F₂. F.F. and F, tie, then F F.E.F.F.F Fand F₂ tie, then F. F4. Fs

In the system shown below, compute the net torque about the end of the rod. 60 N 50 N 0.2 m 0.6 m 80 N 30° 70 N 0.2 m

Given the picture attached: (a) Find the magnitude of the net torque on an axis about C perpendicular to the page. (b) Is this clockwise or counterclockwise?

Alex (31 kg) and Cassie (20 kg) sit on a 9 metre-long see- saw at the local park. The pivot of the see-saw is in the middle of its length. If Cassie sits at one end of the see- saw, where relative to the other end must Alex sit so the net torque is balanced? (Units: metres)

A capstan is a device used on old sailing ships to raise the anchor. A sailor pushes the long lever, turning the capstan and winding up the anchor rope. If the capstan turns at a constant speed, the net torque on it, is zero. The rope tension due to the weight of the anchor is 1500 N. The distance from the axis to the point on the lever where the sailor pushes is seven times the radius of the capstan around which the rope is wound.With what force must the sailor push in order to turn the capstan at a constant speed, meaning that the net torque on the capstan is zero?

When you hold an ball by only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.80 kg. The biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.50 cm from the elbow, and it holds a 44.5 N (about 10 lbs) ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 35.0 cm from the elbow. What is the magnitude of the torque about the elbow by the ball, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

Hello, can you help me with this problem please? Thank you!

A door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick.  A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame.  When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 8.2 Nm.  What is the least force you need to apply to the door to keep it open?

Find the total torque about the A axis due to the forces as shown in Figure (sin 250 = 0.4)

A playground merry-go-round, made in the shape of a solid disk, has a diameter of 2.50 m and a mass of 350.0 kg. Two children, each of mass 30.0 kg, sit on opposite sides at the edge of the platform. Approximate the children as point masses. What torque is required to bring the merry-go-round from rest to 28.0 rev/min in 23.0 s?
