Question

a torque problem..

Answer 1

leng of boom is 10M

Answer 2

F2's direction.. i think its clockwise..

Answer 3

F1's direction is counter

Answer 4

What do we need to find here ??

Answer 5

the weight of the boom

Answer 6

Is the system in equilibrium ??

If not, please show the direction of rotation.

Answer 7

a rotational equilibrium

Answer 8

i think the weight is constant ... it's meaningless to talk about weight ... rather you calculate the torque or ... force applied on the point you are talking about.

Answer 9

calculate the torque..

Answer 10

what is the mass of the bolt? is it massless? ... i also presume it's rectangular in shape

Answer 11

its massless i think.. it would revolve the boom since the boom is attached to the bolt.

Answer 12

*uniform mass

Answer 13

"F2's direction.. i think its clockwise.."
"F1's direction is counter"

Do you mean to say -
