Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the torque produced by a force of 10 N applied at a distance of 2 m from the pivot point, perpendicular to the lever arm?
Correct Answer: 20 Nm
  • Step 1: Identify the force applied. In this case, the force is 10 N.
  • Step 2: Identify the distance from the pivot point to where the force is applied. Here, the distance is 2 m.
  • Step 3: Understand that torque (τ) is calculated using the formula: Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (r).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: τ = 10 N × 2 m.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 10 N × 2 m = 20 Nm.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the torque produced is 20 Nm.
