Question

if a force of 120 n acting 0.29 m from the axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the torque produced?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque is a twisting or turning force that tends to cause rotation around an axis, which might be a center of mass or a fixed point.

Torque is given by the formula Γ=r×F=rFsin(θ)

• here, force F = 120 newton
• perpendicular distance r = 0.29 m

therefore, the torque produced is: 120 x 0.29

Torque = 120 x 0.29 = 34.8 newton-meter
