Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

Question

A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 49.0-gram mass is attached at the 20.0-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for
