Lesson: Torque

Instruction: Analyze and solve the following problems step-by-step.

1. Find the total torque acting on a body when three forces are applied on the following: F1=10 N upward at 1 m,F2=20n upward at 2 m and F3=5N downward at 0.5 m.

Answer 1

$\tau=10\cdot1+20\cdot2-5\cdot0.5=47.5\ (N\cdot m)$ . Answer
