Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A torque of 12 Nm is produced by a force acting at a distance of 0.4 m from the pivot. What is the magnitude of the force?
  • Step 1: Understand that torque is calculated using the formula: Torque = Force x Distance.
  • Step 2: Rearrange the formula to find Force: Force = Torque / Distance.
  • Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula: Torque = 12 Nm and Distance = 0.4 m.
  • Step 4: Calculate the Force: Force = 12 Nm / 0.4 m.
  • Step 5: Perform the division: 12 divided by 0.4 equals 30.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the magnitude of the force is 30 N.
  • Torque Calculation – Understanding the relationship between torque, force, and distance from the pivot point, where Torque = Force x Distance.
