Problem 7
A rod of length L = 3 m sits horizontally along
the x axis attached at its left end to a pivot at
the origin. A force of 4 N is applied to its right
end at an angle +30° to the x-axis. Determine
the torque caused by this force.
Problem 8
A 3 m long rod is pivoted at its center. A force
of 4 N acts on its right end at +30°. Another
force of 3 N acts on its left end at an angle of
+90° (relative to the positive x-axis).
Determine the net torque acting on the rod.
