Question

If a 1.38 n ⋅ m torque is required to pull a given weed, what force did the weed exert on the tool?

Answer 1

The force exerted by the weed on the tool can be calculated using the formula force = torque / distance. However, the distance value is not provided in the question, so the exact force cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque is the product of force and distance from the pivot point. In this case, the torque required to pull the weed is 1.38 n⋅m. So, to find the force exerted by the weed on the tool, divide the torque by the distance from the pivot point. The formula for torque is:

Torque = Force × Distance

Rearranging the formula:

Force = Torque / Distance

Plugging in the values:

• Torque = 1.38 n⋅m
• Distance = ? (not provided in the question)

Without the distance value, I cannot calculate the exact force exerted by the weed on the tool. Please provide the distance value to get a precise answer.
