If torque is a vector, with a specific direction in space, what is meant by clockwise and counterclockwise torques? If the sums of these torques on a rigid body are equal, what does this imply physically?
Consider a bar of length 5.5 m, being acted on by three forces and constrained to rotate about its left end. The magnitudes of the first two forces are 19 N and 26 N and the first force is acting on the end of the bar at an angle of 53
What is the torque in newton-meters, due to F1 on this bar relative to the left end?
What is the torque in newton-meters, due to F2 on this bar relative to the left end, if this force is acting at the midpoint of the bar? Use a coordinate system with positive directed out of the screen.
What is the magnitude of the force F3, in newtons, if the force is a distance 0.25 m from the left end and the bar is not rotating?
A uniform plank of length 5 m and weight 200 N rests horizontally on two supports with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the right support. To what distance x, can a person who weights 430 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just starts to tip?
