2 mg A ladder is leaning against a wall as shown on the left. The mass of the ladder is 17.5 kg. The length of the ladder is 4.00 m. The mass is uniformly distributed along the length of the ladder, so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the ladder or at half its length as shown. The angle between the ladder and the floor is 0 = 32.7°. What is the magnitude and direction of the torque created by the mass of the ladder about a pivot point which is the point at which the ladder is touching the floor (a circle is on drawing to indicate the pivot point?

A picture frame is hanging out from a wall as shown. You choose the origin to be where the picture frame touches the wall and counter-clockwise to be the positive torque direction. If the tension in the string between the wall and the picture frame is Twp = 67.3 N, theta = 121.6 degrees, h = 0.47 m, and phi = 14.8 degrees, what is the torque about the origin due to the tension in the string on the picture frame?
Two thin rectangular sheets (0.20 m x 0.47 m) are identical. In the first sheet the axis of rotation lies along the 0.20-m side, and in the second it lies along the 0.47-m side. The same torque is applied to each sheet. The first sheet, starting from rest, reaches its final angular velocity in 2.3 s. How long does it take for the second sheet, starting from rest, to reach the same angular velocity? Number i Units
One end of a meter stick is pinned to a table, so the stick can rotate freely in a plane parallel to the tabletop. Two forces, both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. The first force has a magnitude of 2.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the length of the stick at the free end. The second force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 36.1o angle with respect to the length of the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the end of the stick that is pinned.
A door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick. A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 8.2 Nm. What is the least force you need to apply to the door to keep it open?
Two uniform solid spheres have the same mass of 2.85 kg, but one has a radius of 0.236 m while the other has a radius of 0.894 m. Each can rotate about an axis through its center.

Two children hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angle of 27.0° above the horizontal. One child, with a mass of 41.0 kg, is hanging 1.05 m along the branch from the tree trunk. The other child, with a mass of 31.0 kg, is hanging 2.35 m from the tree trunk. What is the magnitude of the net torque exerted on the branch by the children? Assume that the axis is located where the branch joins the tree trunk and is perpendicular to the plane formed by the branch and the trunk.
Calculate the net torque about this axis due to the three forces shown in the figure if the magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 27.0 N, F2 = 16.7 N, and F3 = 14.9 N. The plate and all forces are in the plane of the page. Take positive torques to be counterclockwise.

The distance from the fisherman's hand to the tip of the pole is L = 2.14 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 116 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisherman's hand? A fisherman in a boat holding a fishing pole has a fish at the end of his line. The pole is of length L and he is holding it an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The fishing line, which extends from the end of the pole, makes an angle of 37.0° below the horizontal. A dotted line extends from the tip of the pole and makes an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. An arrow labeled vector F points along the fishing line toward the fish.
