A trap door, of length and width 1.95 m, is held open at an angle of 65.0° with respect to the floor. A rope is attached to the raised edge of the door and fastened to the wall behind the door in such a position that the rope pulls perpendicularly to the trap door. If the mass of the trap door is 18.0 kg, what is the torque exerted on the trap door about the hinge by the rope? Enter a positive value if the torque is in counterclockwise direction and enter a negative value if the torque is in clockwise direction. Note: Give your answer in units of N-m. Do not explicitly include units in your answer, however (include number only). Including units (like cm) will result in the question being scored wrong. 65.0° The following image may help think this one through. 65.0° 65.0°

Fy Ex The plant in the picture has mass of 30 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 1.8 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 7.8 kg. Assume that its weight is evenly distributed, therefore it can be treated as a single force at the center of mass. The rod is 2 meters long, and there is a cable at a 38° angle supporting it at the end. Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find the magnitude of the downward torque, from both the weight of the rod and the weight of the plant.
A metal rod 6.00 m long is held in a horizontal position. An object with mass 3.70 kg is suspended from a light rope that is attached 4.00 m from the left-hand end of the rod, as shown in the figure below. Take counterclockwise torques to be positive. For an axis at the right-hand end of the rod, what is the torque exerted on the rod by the tension in the rope? 6.00 m |axis 4.00 m
A woman applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.250 m long. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a force upward at an angle of 70.0° with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts has magnitude 46.0 N, what magnitude torque (in N · m) does she apply to the nut? (Assume that the force is applied at the end of the wrench.)
Two forces, F1=100 N (Newton) and F2=20N, are applied on opposite sides of a door's knob at angles theta_1=30 degrees and theta_2=60 degrees respectively, causing the door to rotate (about the axis passing though its hinges). If the distance from the knob to the rotation axis is 0.8 meter, find the net torque exerted on the door and specify the direction of rotation of the door (in this problem, assume that the force F1 causes a counterclockwise rotation and F2 a clockwise rotation). A.) Net Torque = 26.14 N.m; the door rotates counterclockwise. B.) Net Torque = -25.4 N.m; the door rotates counterclockwise. C.) Net Torque = 123.8 N.m; the door rotates clockwise. D.) Net Torque = 1.784 N.m; the door rotates clockwise.
You open a door by applying a force 1/2 m away from the hinge. The torque you applied was 100 N⋅m. However, the angle at which you pushed the door was 30 degrees from the face of the door. What amount of force did you apply? Please answer in units of newtons and your answer should be exact.
A 10.0 m long ladder weighing 50.0 N rests against a smooth vertical wall. If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when it makes a 50.0° angle with the ground find the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and ground. The ladder is in equilibrium. This means that the torque around ANY pivot point must be zero. In problems like this, you can pick the pivot point of your choice, and still solve for the correct forces. However, there is typically a choice for the pivot point that makes the problem solving steps possible or at least easier. This will depend on the problem, but often depends on the fact that the torque due to a force at the pivot point is zero. This lets you ignore those torque terms in your calculations. a. What is the best choice of pivot point for this problem? Select one: A. The base of the ladder B. The center of mass of the ladder C. The top of the ladder By selecting the base of the ladder, you can ignore the torque due to both the…
