Solve question 2 and please explain Worksheet 17What statement best describes what will happen when the purple struts that are supportingthe balance beam below are removed?A. The beam will rotateB. The beam will rotate clockwiseC. The beam will rotate counterclockwiseD. The beam will not rotateX20kgX2. The torque that the object below creates is found by taking the force acting on the object andmultiplying that value by the distance away from the axis of rotation that that the object is located. Ifeach "tick" mark is .25 meters, what torque does the 20 kg mass create at the instance the supportsare removed?20kgXX

Since you have asked multiple question, we will answer the first question for you. If youwant any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or postonly that question.As you have mentioned, i will answer only question( 2).Question(2):Mass of object is The ticks on the beam are at a distance Note:Gravitational acceleration is Find:Torque due to the object.A force that can rotate an object about an axis is referred to as torque. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. The torque is given asHere represents torque, represents force, represents distance from pivot point to the point where force is applied, represents angle between force and distance.From the given diagram, it is clear that the object is placed at the tick from the center of beam. Thus, the distance of object from the center of beam can be calculated asIn the given case, the force is equivalent to the object's weight which is given asHere represents object's mass and represents gravitational acceleration.The object's weight acts vertically downward direction so the angle between force and distance is Insert the values of distance, force and angle into the equation (1).Torque due to the object is
