Question
This week in lab you observed how a force can apply a torque and rotate an object. Using the concepts of applied force and torque, describe how a doorstop works to keep a door open. Where along the length of the door is the doorstop most effective? (That is, closer or farther from the hinges?) Explain your reasoning using the concepts of force and torque.

The picture below shows a 1.75 kg box pressed against a spring whose spring constant is 275 N/m compressing the spring a distance of 0.225 m. When released the box slides along a frictionless surface and down a ramp. After reaching the bottom of the ramp, the box slides for a short distance before encountering a rough patch of floor where friction brings the box to a stop after 1.35 m. a. How fast is the box moving when it reaches the bottom of the ramp before encountering the rough patch? b. What is the magnitude of the…arrow_forward
