Question

In the following lever system, what is the counter-clockwise torque?

Answer 1

and what is the clockwise torque?

Answer 2

360N*m

the coutner clock wise torque is the force on the left that is making the lever turn clockwise. torque is defined as force* distance from fulcrum * sin (theta). the sin in this case is 1 since it is as 90 degrees. thus its just 40 N times 9 meter. 360 N*m.

Answer 3

so the clock wise torque would be....?

Answer 4

240?

Answer 5

N*m. yes.

Answer 6

:) thank you

Answer 7

no problem.
