crane has an arm length of 20 m inclined at 30deg with the vertical. It carries a container of mass of 1 ton suspended from the top end of the arm. Find the torque produced by the gravitational force on the container about the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Given: 1 ton = 1000 kg; neglect the weight of the arm. Hint: take the force and perpendicular distance from the point where the arm is fixed to the crane.
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
A crane has an arm length of 20 m inclined at 30deg with the vertical. It carries a container of mass of 1 ton suspended from the top end of the arm.

Hint: take the force and perpendicular distance from the point where the arm is fixed to the crane. Note: Express your answer in whole number. No unit is required for the final answer. Set your calculator in radians.
