Chapter 5, Problem 14SP
A horizontal essentially weightless lever is pivoted so it can rotate freely in a vertical plane. A downward force of 30.0 N is applied perpendicularly to the lever at a point 25.0 cm from and to the right of the pivot. Determine the torque on the lever, about the pivot. [Hint: Draw a diagram and specify the direction of the torque.]

In unit-vector notation, what is the net torque about the origin on a flea located at coordinates (0, -2.04 m, 5.53 m) when forces F→1=(1.06N)k̂ and F→2=(−7.18N)ĵ act on the flea?
In the figure, what magnitude of force F→ applied horizontally at the axle of the wheel is necessary to raise the wheel over an obstacle of height h = 0.284 m? The wheel's radius is r = 0.685 m and its mass is m = 1.50 kg.
Find the magnitude of the net torque on the wheel in Figure below about the axle through O, taking ?=17cma=17cm, ?=31cmb=31cm. The magnitude of the applied forces are ?1=26NF1=26N, ?2=23NF2=23N, and ?3=14NF3=14N. Provide your answer in units of m⋅Nm⋅N and round off your answer to 2 decimal places.
