The tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 38 N · m. You plan to tighten the plugs by pulling on the end of a 25-cm-long wrench. Because of the cramped space under the hood, you’ll need to pull at an angle of 120° with respect to the wrench shaft. With what force must you pull?

- The 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_forwardConsider the disk in Problem 71. The disks outer rim hasradius R = 4.20 m, and F1 = 10.5 N. Find the magnitude ofeach torque exerted around the center of the disk. FIGURE P12.71 Problems 71-75arrow_forwardFigure P10.82 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of Fg, find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: Show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping. Figure P10.82arrow_forward
- The hour hand and the minute hand of Big Ben, the Parliament tower clock in London, are 2.70 m and 4.50 m long and have masses of 60.0 kg and 100 kg, respectively (see Fig. P10.17). (a) Determine the total torque due to the weight of these hands about the axis of rotation when the time reads (i) 3:00, (ii) 5:15, (iii) 6:00, (iv) 8:20, and (v) 9:45. (You may model the hands as long, thin, uniform rods.) (b) Determine all times when the total torque about the axis of rotation is zero. Determine the times to the nearest second, solving a transcendental equation numerically.arrow_forwardThe tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 47 N⋅mN⋅m . You plan to tighten the plugs by pulling on the end of a 29-cm-long wrench. Because of the cramped space under the hood, you'll need to pull at an angle of 130 ∘∘ with respect to the wrench shaft.

- Luis uses a 20-cm-long wrench to tighten a nut, turning it clockwise. The wrench handle is tilted 30° above the horizontal, and Luis pulls straight down on the end with a force of 100 N. How much torque does Luis exert on the nut?arrow_forwardSpark plugs should be tightened to a specified torque of 14.55Nm. You have a wrench that is 0.21 m long, but because of the tightness of the space you can't pull the wrench at a ninety degree angle. You must pull at an angle of 25.42 degrees, measured from the handle of the wrench. What force must you exert on the wrench?arrow_forwardThe tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 36 Nm. You plan to tighten the plugs by pulling on the end of a 21-cm-long wrench. Because of the cramped space under the hood, you'll need to pull at an angle of 125∘ with respect to the wrench shaft.arrow_forward
- A car tune-up manual calls for tightening the spark plugs to a torque of 35.0 N m. To achieve this torque, with what force you must pull on the end of a 24-cm-long wrench if you pull (a) at right angle to the wrench shaft and (b) 110 degrees to the wrench shaft?arrow_forwardThe tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 40 N⋅m. You plan to tighten the plugs by pulling on the end of a 26-cm-long wrench. Because of the cramped space under the hood, you'll need to pull at an angle of 125 ∘ with respect to the wrench shaft. With what force must you pull?arrow_forward. Archeologists in Egypt are attempting to open a 2.57-m-wide door in the tomb of Tutankhamen. Miles, one of the rookie archeologists, pushes perpendicularly on the door with a force of 894 N. How much torque does Miles exert on the door?arrow_forward
