Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a seesaw, if one child exerts a force of 30 N at a distance of 1.5 m from the pivot, what is the torque produced by this child?
  • Step 1: Identify the force exerted by the child, which is 30 N.
  • Step 2: Identify the distance from the pivot to where the force is applied, which is 1.5 m.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for torque, which is Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (r).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: τ = 30 N × 1.5 m.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 30 N × 1.5 m = 45 Nm.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the torque produced by the child is 45 Nm.
