Question

The figure below shows a 10-kg mass hung from the end of a rod that is 2.2 m in length. Find the magnitude of the torque produced by the hung mass (m).

Answer 1

215.6Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows a 10-kg mass hung from the end of a rod that is 2.2 m in length. Find the magnitude of the torque produced by the hung mass (m)

Torque = Force × radius

Torque = mg × radius

Torque = 10(9.8) × 2.2

Torque = 98 × 2.2

Torque = 215.6Nm
