Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the lever arm is doubled while keeping the force constant, how does the torque change?
  • Step 1: Understand what torque is. Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.
  • Step 2: Identify the formula for torque. The formula is Torque = Force x Lever Arm.
  • Step 3: Note that the lever arm is the distance from the pivot point to where the force is applied.
  • Step 4: If the lever arm is doubled, it means you are increasing the distance from the pivot point to where the force is applied.
  • Step 5: Since torque is directly proportional to the lever arm, if you double the lever arm, the torque will also double.
  • Step 6: Conclude that if the lever arm is doubled while keeping the force constant, the torque changes by also doubling.
