A basketball is being pushed by two players during tip-off. One player exerts an upward force of 15 N at a perpendicular distance of 14 cm from the axis of rotation.The second player applies a downward force of 11 N at a perpendicular distance of 7.0 cm from the axis of rotation. Find the net torque acting on the ball about its center of mass.

When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.140 m from the center of the bolt. How much torque are you exerting in newton-meters (relative to the center of the bolt)?
If the coefficient of static friction between a car’s tires andthe pavement is 0.65, calculate the minimum torque thatmust be applied to the 66-cm-diameter tire of a 1080-kgautomobile in order to “lay rubber” (make the wheels spin,slipping as the car accelerates). Assume each wheel supportsan equal share of the weight.
What is the maximuim torque he could exert with a force of this magnitude?
The arm of a crane at a construction site is17.0 m long, and it makes an angle of 16.8◦with the horizontal. Assume that the maximum load the crane can handle is limitedby the amount of torque the load producesaround the base of the arm.What maximum torque can the crane withstand if the maximum load the crane canhandle is 785 N?Answer in units of N · m.
The arm of a crane at a construction site is18.0 m long, and it makes an angle of 15.3with the horizontal. Assume that the maximum load the crane can handle is limited by the amount of torque the load producesaround the base of the arm. What maximum torque can the crane with-stand if the maximum load the crane can handle is 607 N?
•• A squirrel-proof bird feeder has a lever that closes to protect theseeds when a 0.42-kg squirrel sits on it, but not when a 0.077-kgbird perches there. (a) If the lever radius is 9.6 cm, what torquesdo the squirrel and the bird each exert on it? (b) The torque produced by the animal is balanced by a spring that applies a perpendicular force a distance of 3.5 cm from the axis of rotation. Ifthe squirrel must stretch the spring 2.5 cm in order to close thelever and protect the seeds, what should be the force constant ofthe spring
A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 198000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 23.8 m. a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway? b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?
The wheels,axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh W=56N. The load chamber and it’s contents weigh WL=635N.the drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheelbarrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force to the handles that is directed vertically upward.consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper.find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.
A worker applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.500 mlong. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a forceupward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from thenut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts hasmagnitude 80.0 N, what magnitude torque does she apply tothe nut?
find the total force experienced by the figure spire and the net torque on the spire pls dont skip steps
A loose nut can be tightened byusing a wrench. If an 18 Nperpendicular force is applied at 35cm away from the axis of rotation,and moves a distance of 10 cm as itturns. Calculate the amount oftorque applied to this wrench.
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tree 15 m away, as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
