Consider a block sitting on the ground. In 2 dimensions, the height of the block is 1.55 m, and the width is 0.55 m. If there is a force F=47 N applied at the top left corner of the block, what is the torque that this force generates around the bottom right corner (the location indicated with a red x on the image). Give your answer in units of Nm, to three significant figures. You can treat the block as 2 dimensional. The image is not drawn to scale.

Note: Because the arguments of the trigonometric functions are unitless in this question, your calculator must be in radian mode if you use it to evaluate any trigonometric functions. When powered up, a disk drive starts at rest and spins up with non-uniform angular acceleration according to the following formula: =asin(bt) where a = 708 radians/s2 and b = 1.74 s-1. This lasts for the first 1.81 seconds, after which the drive does not accelerate. How many meters of disk surface have passed underneath the head in 0.79 seconds?
A non-uniform rod of mass M, length L and linear mass density λ = 2x2 is at a rotational equilibrium, shown in the figure*. On the left, mass m1 is hanging from a distance r1 from the wedge.
