A mechanic is screwing a bolt and applies a force ?⃗ of magnitude 12.0 N to the end of the wrench. The force makes an angle θ = 35.0 ∘with the horizontal, and the wrench is positioned vertically. The distance from the bolt to the end of the wrench is ? = 25.0cm. Find the torque on the bolt exerted by the force ?⃗. (Consider the sign of the torque in your answer, positive if torque is counterclockwise and negative if torque is clockwise).
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
