Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the torque produced by a force of 15 N acting at an angle of 90 degrees to the lever arm of 0.5 m?
  • Step 1: Identify the force applied, which is 15 N.
  • Step 2: Identify the distance from the pivot point to where the force is applied, which is 0.5 m.
  • Step 3: Identify the angle at which the force is applied, which is 90 degrees.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for torque: Torque = Force × Distance × sin(θ).
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: Torque = 15 N × 0.5 m × sin(90°).
  • Step 6: Calculate sin(90°), which is 1.
  • Step 7: Multiply the values: Torque = 15 N × 0.5 m × 1.
  • Step 8: Calculate the final result: Torque = 15 Nm.
