Concept explainers

Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

Question

At the park, a 7 m long seesaw is supported in the middle.A 50 kg child sits at the far left end and a 65 kg child sits somewhere on the right hand side. Find how far the second child is from the center in order to balance the seesaw.

The Iron Cross When a gymnast weighing 750 N executes the iron cross as in Figure lN.91a, the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats") and the pectoralis major (pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the aims and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled Fs, while the two muscles exert a total force Fw on the arm. Estimate the magnitude of the force Fw. Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is 375 N as indicated in Figure P8.91b. Assume that the force Fw acts at an angle of 45 below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 70 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.
The fishing pole in Figure P10.22 makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the anglers hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F=100N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the anglers hands. Figure P10.22
A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in Figure P10.28. The goal is to find the womans position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? (d) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use Equation 10.27 to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. (f) Using the result of part (d) and Equation 10.28, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the womans position x when the beam is about to tip. (g) Check the answer to part (e) by computing torques around the first pivot point. Figure P10.28
A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 60 kg and the girl's mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 1.5 m from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side for equilibrium? 8 m B) 1.3 m C) 2.5 m D) 3.0 m
A 20 kg child and a 30 kg child sit at opposite ends of a 4m seesaw that is pivoted at its center. Where should another 20 kg child sit in order to balance the seesaw?
The larger ball in the picture has a mass m1 = 30 kg while the smaller ball has a mass m2 = 10 kg. (a) If the larger ball is placed 1 m away from the fulcrum, how far away from the fulcrum must the smaller ball be placed in order for the seesaw to be in equilibrium? Here the fulcrum is in the middle of the seesaw. (b) Now the fulcrum is located one fourth of the way from the left end of the plank and the balls are placed at either end. If the larger ball has the same mass as in part (a), what must the mass of the smaller ball be in order for the seesaw to be in equilibrium? Ignore the mass of the plank.
Three children are playing on a seesaw. The largest child has a mass of 50 kg and sits on the right side of the seesaw 0.9 m from the fulcrum. The middle child has a mass of 40 kg and sits on the left side of the seesaw 2.5 m from the fulcrum. Where does the smallest child, who has a mass of 25 kg, need to sit in order to balance the seesaw?
A cat walks along a plank with mass M = 6.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of theplank is a distance d1 = 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2 = 1.11 m to the right of sawhorseB, the plank just begins to tip. What is the mass of the cat, m?
Two children are playing on a seesaw trying to balance. If the child on the left sits 2 meters away from the fulcrum and weighs 40 kg, and the child on the right weighs 32 kg, how far away from the pivot point will the child on the right have to sit? A. 2.5 m B. 3 m C. 1.5 m D. 2.75 m
A 5.4 kgkg cat and a 2.5 kgkg bowl of tuna fish are at opposite ends of the 4.0-mm-long seesaw. How far to the left of the pivot must a 3.8 kgkg cat stand to keep the seesaw balanced?
The larger ball in the picture has a mass m1 = 30 kg while the smaller ball has a mass m2 = 10 kg. (a) If the larger ball is placed 1 m away from the fulcrum, how far away from the fulcrum must the smaller ball be placed in order for the seesaw to be in equilibrium? Here the fulcrum is in the middle of the seesaw.
Luc, who is 1.80 m tall and weighs 950 N, is standing at the center of a playground merry-go-round with his arms extended, holding a 4.0 kg dumbbell in each hand. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a 4.0-m-diameter disk with a weight of 1500 N. Luc's body can be modeled as a uniform 40-cm-diameter cylinder with massless arms extending to hands that are 85 cm from his center. The merry-go-round is coasting at a steady 35 rpm when Luc brings his hands in to his chest. Afterward, what is the angular velocity, in rpm, of the merry-go-round?
