Question

Determine the amount of torque

applied by a 1.0 m long pry bar with
250 N of force acting on it. Assume
that the angle is 90°.

Answer 1

250Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of the long pry bar = 1m

Force acting on it = 250N

Angle = 90°

Unknown:

Amount of torque applied = ?

Solution:

Torque is the turning force on a body that causes the rotation of the body.

The formula is given as:

Torque = Force x r Sin Ф

r is the distance

So;

Torque = 250 x 1 x sin 90 = 250Nm
