Reconsider the situation given below. If Luis pulls straight down on the end of a wrench that is in the same orientation but is 35 cm long, rather than 20 cm, what force must he apply to exert the same torque? Luis uses a 20-cm-long wrench to tighten a nut, turning it clockwise. The wrench handle is tilted 30° above the horizontal, and Luis pulls straight down on the end with a force of 100 N. How much torque does Luis exert on the nut?
A force of magnitude 30 lbs acts on the end of a wrench as shown. The wrench is 8 inches long and makes an angle of 30° from the -x axis in the x-y plane as shown. What is the torque exerted by this force around point P? Give the magnitude and direction as a vector.
A man with a weight of 580N is doing push-ups. Please draw a free body diagram to show the forces and place the pivot point where it needs to go and explain why. To calculate the torque, Flsinθ, explain why an angle is not necessary for this problem? What is the force on each foot?

The following scenario shows a woman military pressing a lever that is supporting a man. The man’s mass is 90 kg and he is located 2.1 meters away from the pivot point. Answer the following questions below. a) What is the approximate moment (or torque) due to the weight of the man? b) The woman is capable of holding 60 kg above her head. If she pushes at an angle of 45 degrees below the horizontal how far away would she have to stand to support the level from falling? this is for biomechanics
The figure below shows forces acting at various points on a metal shaft. The angles ? = 48°, ? = 35°, ? = 21°. The length ℓ = 3.6 m.

Three forces act on a square plate that can rotate in the horizontal plane about a pivot at the lower left corner of the plate, as shown in the figure below. The plate has a mass of M = 15.0 kg and a length of l = 0.500 m on each side. Forces F1 and F2 have the same magnitude of 100 N. What is the magnitude of force F3 if the net torque on the plate has a magnitude of 20.0 N*m and points into the page?

As shown in the figure below, we have a square one meter on a side that is free to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the square, a distance a from one side and a distance b from the other side. Two forces, F1 and F2, are applied to diagonally opposite corners, and act along the sides of the square, first as shown in case (i) and then in case (ii) of the drawing. In each case, the net torque produced by the forces is zero. If the magnitude of F2 is 6 times that of F1, find the distances a and b that locate the axis. It should be noted that a and b are not drawn to scale. a = ? b = ?

For two existing torques, what third force at a given distance from the pivot will balance them? Imagine a meter stick set up as in the figure. It hangs from a central bracket, and two hanging masses can hang from it from each of their brackets. At a third location, a force probe can either pull up or pull down on the stick, depending on what is needed to balance the stick. The mass of the meter stick is 120 g. sketch the situation (drawing r1, r2, r3, F1, F2, and F3) and determine the magnitude (value) and direction (+ or -) of each torque. Don't include the mass of a bracket that would hold the hanging mass in place; assume the mass listed is the entire mass hanging at that point. For each trial, use the principle of equilibrium (where the sum of torques is zero) to calculate the third, unknown force acting at x3
