- Two forces F1 and F2 act along the two sides of an equilateral triangle as shown in Figure P11.5. Point O is the intersection of the altitudes of the triangle. (a) Find the magnitude of a third force F3 to be applied at B and along BC that will make the total torque zero about the point O. (b) What If? Will the total torque change if F3 is applied not at B but at any other point along BC? Figure P11.5arrow_forwardThe 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 P10.22arrow_forwardHow do you solve problem? I'm confused about which equations to use and which variables go where. How should I think about what is going on? You have a pulley 14.6 cm in diameter and with a mass of 1.9 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is the mass evenly distributed, or is it concentrated toward the center or the rim? To find out, you hang the pulley on a hook, wrap a string around it several times, and suspend your 1.2 kg physics book 1.5 m above the floor. With your stopwatch, you can find that it takes 0.62 s for your book to hit the floor. Use g=9.8 m/s2. a) What is the moment of inertia if the pulley is uniform? b) What is the actual moment of inertia of the pulley based on your measurement? c) Is the pulley uniform (within 1% of uniform), is the mass of the pulley concentrated toward the center, or is the mass concentrated toward the rim?arrow_forward
