Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A force of 10 N is applied at a distance of 0.5 m from the pivot point. What is the torque about the pivot?
Correct Answer: 5 Nm
  • Step 1: Identify the force applied. In this case, the force is 10 N.
  • Step 2: Identify the distance from the pivot point where the force is applied. Here, the distance is 0.5 m.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for torque, which is Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (d).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: τ = 10 N × 0.5 m.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 10 N × 0.5 m = 5 Nm.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the torque about the pivot is 5 Nm.
  • Torque – Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force, calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance from the pivot point.
