A circular disk with a radius of 0.38 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction. F1 = 5 N applied at the outer edge of the disc. F2 = 3.8 N applied at a distance of 0.22 from the center of the disc. What is the net torque on the disc?

Question

A circular disk with a radius of 0.38 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction.

F1 = 5 N applied at the outer edge of the disc.

F2 = 3.8 N applied at a distance of 0.22 from the center of the disc.

What is the net torque on the disc?
