Question

Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force (N) applied at 90∘ to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound SI unit for the torque is N⋅m. If the force (at 90∘ to the lever arm) applied is 15 N and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever? Express the torque with the appropriate units. View Available Hint(s) nothing Provide Feedback Correct. Followup. You can enter your answer in any equivalent combination of SI units representing a distance over any period of time. For example, you could also enter 21 using two significant figures.

Answer 1

30 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Force, F = 15 N

Arm length, d = 2 m

angle = 90°

The torque is the rotating force which gives rotation effect to the body.

Torque is defined as the force and the perpendicular distance.

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance

Torque = 15 x 2 = 30 Nm

Thus, the torque is 30 Nm.
