Question

A bucket filled with water has a mass of 23 kg and is attached to a rope, which in turn, is wound around a 0.050-m radius cylinder at the top of a well. What torque does the weight of water and bucket produce on the cylinder if the cylinder is not permitted to rotate

Answer 1

Answer:11.27 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mass of bucket with water is
`m=23\ kg`

radius of cylinder
`r=0.05\ m`

If the cylinder is not permitted to rotate

Torque is given by the product of Force and distance of force from axis of rotation

`T=F* r`

where F=weight of bucket with water

`F=mg`

`T=mg* r`

`T=23* 9.8* 0.05`

`T=11.27\ Nm`
