Consider a block sitting on the ground. In 2 dimensions, the height of the block is 1.65 m, and the width is 0.35 m. There is a force F=47 N applied at the top left corner of the block, and the mass of the block is 27.0 kg, distributed equally throughout the block. What is the torque that the force of gravity generates around the bottom right corner (the location indicated with a red x on the image). Give your answer in units of Nm, to three significant figures. You can treat the block as 2 dimensional. The image is not drawn to scale.

Two big bugs, Buzz and Crunchy each of mass 0.65 kg, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 4.6 m and it rotates once every 1.2 s. What is the magnitude of the net force on Buzz, in Newtons? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
At the presentation ceremony, a championship bowler is presented a 1.58-kg trophy which he holds at arm's length, a distance of 0.655 m from his shoulder joint. (a) Determine the torque (in N · m) the trophy exerts about the shoulder joint when his arm is horizontal. (Enter the magnitude only.) Carefully draw a diagram which shows the force F which produces the torque for this situation, the vector i which locates the point of application of the force relative to the shoulder joint and the angle 0 between the direction of these two vectors. See if you can write a relationship that will allow you to determine the magnitude of the torque i if you know the magnitude of the vectors i and F, and also the angle 0 between their direction. N · m (b) Determine the torque (in N · m) the trophy exerts about the shoulder joint when his arm is at an angle of 35.0° below the horizontal. (Enter the magnitude only.) Carefully draw a diagram which shows the force F which produces the torque for this…
To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to rotate freely. The pivot is taken as the origin or your coordinate system. You apply a force of F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k at a point r = rx i + ry j + rz k on the beam. Part (a) Enter a vector expression for the resulting torque, in terms of the unit vectors i, j, k and the components of F and r. Part (b) Calculate the magnitude of the torque, in newton meters, when the components of the position and force vectors have the values rx = 4.42 m, ry = 0.015 m, rz = 0.035 m, Fx = -4.2 N, Fy = 6.6 N, Fz = 2.8 N. Part (c) If the moment of inertia of the beam with respect to the pivot is I = 368 kg˙m2, calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the beam about the pivot, in radians per second squared.
One end of a meter stick is pinned to a table, so the stick can rotate freely in a plane parallel to the tabletop. Two forces, both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. The first force has a magnitude of 2.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the length of the stick at the free end. The second force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 38.9° angle with respect to the length of the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the end of the stick that is pinned. d= i >
A man applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.450 m long. Because of the cramped space, he 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 he exerts has magnitude 52.0 N, what magnitude torque (in N · m) does he apply to the nut? (Assume that the force is applied at the end of the wrench.)

Rank the pictured torques on a solid beam from most negative to most positive. The black dot in the beam is a fixed pivot axis which is located at the very end of the beam (notice that c, e, and f have different pivots!). You may assume that forces are either applied at the end or the center of the beam. Angles that appear to be 90 degrees, are 90 degrees. If torques are equal in magnitude, please indicate this. If any of the torques are zero, please indicate this.
