Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

A flexible chain weighing 40.0 N hangs between two hooks located at the same height (Fig. P12.9). At each hook, the tangent to the chain makes an angle = 42.0 with the horizontal. Find (a) the magnitude of the force each hook exerts on the chain and (b) the tension in the chain at its midpoint. Suggestion: For part (b), make a force diagram for half of the chain. Figure P12.9
A rod of length 4.00 m with negligible mass is hinged to a wall. A rope attached to the end of the rod runs up to the wall at an angle of exactly 45, helping support the rod, while a sign of weight 10.0 N is hanging by two ropes attached to the bottom of the rod. The ropes make an angle of exactly 30 with the rod as shown in Figure P14.79. Another sign with a weight of 10.0 N is attached to the top of the rod with its center of mass at the midpoint of the rod. The entire system is in equilibrium. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope above the rod that is also attached to the wall. FIGURE P14.79 Problems 79 and 80.

Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass 15.0 kg and length 2.50 m as shown in Figure P14.27. What is the tension in each of the three ropes when Sophia, with a mass of 23.0 kg, is made to walk the plank and is 1.50 m from reaching the end of the plank? FIGURE P14.27
A plank with a mass M = 6.00 kg rests on top of two identical, solid, cylindrical rollers that have R = 5.00 cm and m = 2.00 kg (Fig. P10.87). The plank is pulled by a constant horizontal force F of magnitude 6.00 N applied to the end of the plank and perpendicular to the axes of the cylinders (which are parallel). The cylinders roll without slipping on a Hat surface. There is also no slipping between the cylinders and the plank. (a) Find the initial acceleration of the plank at the moment the rollers are equidistant from the ends of the plank. (b) Find the acceleration of the rollers at this moment. (c) What friction forces are acting at this moment?
Why is the following situation impossible? A worker in a factory pulls a cabinet across the floor using a rope as shown in Figure P12.36a. The rope make an angle = 37.0 with the floor and is tied h1 = 10.0 cm from the bottom of the cabinet. The uniform rectangular cabinet has height = 100 cm and width w = 60.0 cm, and it weighs 400 N. The cabinet slides with constant speed when a force F = 300 N is applied through the rope. The worker tires of walking backward. He fastens the rope to a point on the cabinet h2 = 65.0 cm off the floor and lays the rope over his shoulder so that he can walk forward and pull as shown in Figure P12.36b. In this way, the rope again makes an angle of = 37.0 with the horizontal and again has a tension of 300 N. Using this technique, the worker is able to slide the cabinet over a long distance on the floor without tiring. Figure P12.36 Problems 36 and 44.

When a circus performer performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P12.37a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fk on a hand as show n in Figure P12.37b. The force Fs, is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. (b) Suppose a performer in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the performer? Figure P12.37
