ques: 1) If the torque required to remove the nut is 33.8 N-m, what force (in N) must be exerted on the end of the wrench to loosen the nut? Assume the wrench has a length of 28.2 cm and the force is applied perpendicularly.

ques2) A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration. It has an angular velocity of 3.2 rad/s at time t = 0 s, and 2.0 s later has an angular velocity of 19.2 rad/s. What is the angular displacement (in rad) of the wheel during the time interval?

 
 
Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

Since you have posted multiple questions we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved please specify the question number or post that question alone.

 

The torque acting on an object is calculated by using the formula τ=Fdsinθ , where F is the force acting ,d=0.282 m is the distance from the pivot point and θ=90° as the force is acting perpendicularly. 

Step 2 :Calculation of the force

Calculate the required force by using the formula τ=Fdsinθ , where τ=33.8 Nm is the torque acting ,d=0.282 m is the distance from the pivot point and θ=90° as the force is acting perpendicularly.

 

τ=FdsinθF=τdsinθ=33.8 Nm0.282 m×sin90°120 N
