Question

An object is subject to a 84 Nm torque about a point when a

21 N of force is applied to a second point along the object's
length. How far apart are the two points

Answer 1

d = 4[m]

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque in physics is defined as the product of force by distance. This way you can use the following equation to calculate the torque.

`T=F*d`

where:

T = torque [N*m]

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

Now replacing in the equation above.

`84=21*d\\\\d= 4[m]`
