A pair of forces with equal magnitudes, opposite directions, and different lines of action is called a "couple." When a couple acts on a rigid object, the couple produces a torque that does not depend on the location of the axis. The figure shows a couple acting on a tire wrench, each force being perpendicular to the wrench. Let L = 0.281 m and F= 28.2 N. Determine the torque produced by the couple when the axis is perpendicular to the tire and passes through (a) point A, (b) point B, and (c) point C.

A disc with a radius of 0.53 m is fixed to rotate about its center. Three forces act on the object as noted below. What magnitude net torque acts on the object? F1 = 14.7 N tangentially applied to the outer edge. F2 = 11.1 N tangentially applied to the outer edge. F3 = 11.5 N tangentially applied at a distance 0 m above the axis of rotation at an angle theta = 34.3 degrees with respect to the vertical. The location of F3 is at the center of the circle (a distance of 0 from the axis)
In the figure, three forces of the same magnitude are applied to a particle at the origin (acts directly into the plane of the figure). Rank the forces according to the magnitudes of the torques they create about the point P2, greatest first. T1, T2 and T3 are the corresponding torques for forces 1, 2 and 3. Ps P2 F1 O T2 = T3 > T1 O T1 > T2 > T3 O T1 = T2 > T3 T2 T3 > T1 T3 > T2 > T1

A square, 0.144 m on a side, is mounted so that it can rotate about an axis that passes through the center of the square. The axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. A force of 10.5 N lies in this plane and is applied to the square. What is the magnitude of the maximum torque that such a force could produce? Number Units
Two disks are free to rotate about an axis through their center. The inner disk has a radius a = 20 cm and a 60 N force is applied tangent to the rim as shown. The outer disk has radius b = 40 cm and a force of magnitude F is applied tangent to its rim. What value of F is required to give zero net torque about the center?

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weighs 140 N. A man weighing 620 N climbs slowly up the ladder. Start by drawing a free-body diagram of the ladder. What is the actual frictional force when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder? [Hint: Draw a free body diagram to determine what forces are at play. Then use the torque formula (T = Fxrx sine) to find the net torque.]
