Question

2

A spring balance pulls with 5 N on a beam of 0.5 m.
What is the torque at the end of the beam?

Answer 1

The torque at the end of the beam is 2.5 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of beam, r = 0.5 m

applied force, F = 5 N

The torque at the end of the beam is given by;

τ = F x r

where;

τ is the torque

F is applied force

r is length of the beam

τ = 5 x 0.5

τ = 2.5 Nm

Therefore, the torque at the end of the beam is 2.5 Nm
