Assume a single 300-N force is exerted on a bicycle frame as shown in Figure OQ10.5. Consider the torque produced by this force about axes perpendicular to the plane of the paper and through each of the points A through E, where E is the center of mass of the frame. Rank the torques A, B, C, D, and E from largest to smallest, noting that zero is greater than a negative quantity. If two torques are equal, note their equality in your ranking. Figure OQ10.5
