Question

A rod has 14.0 kg of mass distributed uniformly over its length of 2.50 m and is suspended by two cords. Right after the rope is cut calculate the magnitude of the torque acting on it.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data as per question

Mass of the rod =14 kg

Length of rod =2.5 m

When the rope is cut, the force can be act due to the gravitational weight of the rod and acting at a distance of L/2.
