Two boys hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angle of 30 degree above the horizontal. One boy, with a mass of 55.00 kg, is hanging 1.70 m along the branch from the tree trunk. The other boy, with a mass of 31.00 kg, is hanging 2.10 m from the tree trunk. What is the magnitude of the net torque exerted on the branch by the children? Assume that the axis is located where the branch joins the tree trunk and is perpendicular to the plane formed by the branch and the trunk.

A box containing pizza sits on a table. Ernesto, who sits due east of the pizza box, pulls the box toward him with a force of 35.0 N. Kamala, who sits due north of the pizza box, pulls the box toward her with a 50.0 N force.
