Consider a bar, of length 5.5 m, shown in the figure, being acted on by three forces. The magnitudes of the first two forces are 23 N and 28 N, and the first force is acting on the end of the bar at an angle of 54° as shown.
a)What is the torque, in newton-meters, due to F1 on this bar relative to the left end? Use a coordinate system with positive directed out of the screen.
b)What is the torque, in newton-meters, due to F2 on this bar relative to the left end, if this force is acting at the midpoint of the bar? Use a coordinate system with positive directed out of the screen.
c)What is the magnitude of the force F3, in newtons, if the force is a distance 0.65 m from the left end and the bar is not rotating?
