AP Physics C: Mechanics
5.3 Torque

| Force | Position | Angle with Beam |
|---|---|---|
| \(F_1\) | \(x = \dfrac{1}{2}L\) | \(90^\circ\) |
| \(F_2\) | \(x = \dfrac{3}{4}L\) | \(60^\circ\) |
| \(F_3\) | \(x = L\) | \(45^\circ\) |
| \(F_4\) | \(x = \dfrac{4}{5}L\) | \(90^\circ\) |
Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitudes of the torques \(\tau_1\), \(\tau_2\), \(\tau_3\), and \(\tau_4\) exerted by each force about the pivot from greatest to least?
