Question

What is a result when the torques on each side of the fulcrum are equal?

no motion
rotate counterclockwise about the fulcrum
rotate clockwise about the fulcrum
iIt will teeter clockwise and counterclockwise about the fulcrum

Answer 1

There would be no motion in a fulcrum if both torques in its either side would be equal. In addition, the summation of torques in the fulcrum system would eventually be zero. It will only come into motion when an external force is applied, which is in accordance with Newton's First Law of Inertia.

Answer 2

Answer;

No motion

Explanation;

• Torque refers to the twisting action caused by a force which makes an object to rotate about an axis. The sum of all torques on a system is the net torque.
• When the net torque in a given system is Zero then the system is balanced.
• When the torques on each side of the fulcrum are equal then the net torque in the system is zero, thus the system will be balanced and hence there would be no motion in the system.
