Chapter 11, Problem 5OQ

(a)

To determine

The torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an axis of rotation.

(b)

To determine

The torque is independent on the location of an axis of rotation.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Is it possible to calculate the torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an origin? (b) Is the torque independent of the location of the origin?
A heavy concrete panel is being lifted into position in a building by means of a crane (see figure below). The tension of 1.02 x 104 N in the supporting cable produces a torque with respect to point O. (Let L = 17.9 m.)   (a) Does this torque tend to rotate the panel clockwise or counterclockwise about an axis through point O? clockwise or counterclockwise     (b) Find the torque.
