Here’s the solution for the problem:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( \text{Torque} = r \cdot F \cdot \sin(\theta) \) | The torque due to a force is calculated using the perpendicular component of the force. Here, \(r\) is the distance from the pivot, \(F\) is the force, and \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the beam. |
| 2 | \( r = 2 \, \text{m}, \quad F = 200 \, \text{N}, \quad \theta = 30^\circ \) | Values given in the problem include the length of the beam (radius to point of force) and the force applied. |
| 3 | \( \text{Torque}_{F} = 2 \, \text{m} \cdot 200 \, \text{N} \cdot \sin(30^\circ) \) | Calculate the torque produced by the applied force. The sine of 30 degrees accounts for the perpendicular component of the force. |
| 4 | \( \text{Torque}_{F} = 2 \, \text{m} \cdot 200 \, \text{N} \cdot 0.5 = 200 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) | Simplify the calculation using \(\sin(30^\circ) = 0.5\). |
| 5 | \( \text{Torque}_{\text{gravity}} = -10 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 1 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the torque due to gravity. The weight acts downward at the center of the beam, which is 1 meter from the pivot. |
| 6 | \( \text{Torque}_{\text{gravity}} = -98 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) | The torque is negative since it causes clockwise rotation. |
| 7 | \( \text{Net Torque} = 200 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} – 98 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) | Sum the torques due to the applied force and gravity to find the net torque. |
| 8 | \( \text{Net Torque} = 102 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) | Subtract to find the net torque, considering the directions. Positive sign indicates counterclockwise torque. |
The correct answer is (d) 102 N•m.
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15,000 rpm in 240 s. Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?
A pulley has an initial angular speed of \( 12.5 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) and a constant angular acceleration of \( 3.41 \) \( \text{rad/s}^2 \). Through what angle does the pulley turn in \( 5.26 \) \( \text{s} \)?
The system above is NOT balanced since \(m_2\) is twice the mass of \(m_1\). Which of the following changes would NOT balance the system so that there is 0 net torque? Assume the plank has no mass of its own.
A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 60 kg and the girl’s mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 1.5 m from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side for equilibrium?
A massless rigid rod of length [katex]3d[/katex] is pivoted at a fixed point [katex]W[/katex], and two forces each of magnitude [katex]F[/katex] are applied vertically upward as shown above. A third vertical force of magnitude [katex]F[/katex] may be applied, either upward or downward, at one of the labeled points. With the proper choice of direction at each point, the rod can be in equilibrium if the third force of magnitude [katex]F[/katex] is applied at point?

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
