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 68.4° 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.

A torque of 35.6 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result of a directed force combined with a friction force. As a result of the applied torque the angular speed of the wheel increases from 0 to 9.9 rad/s. After 5.80 s the directed force is removed, and the wheel comes to rest 59.8 s later.
If you hold your arm outstretched with your palm upward, the force to keep your arm from falling comes from your deltoid muscle. Assume that the arm with hand has mass 4.25 kg and the distances and angles shown. What is the magnitude of the torque must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 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.
The figure below shows a fisherman with a fishing pole that makes an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The distance from the fisherman's hand to the tip of the pole is L = 1.89 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 119 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisherman's hand?
When a diver gets into a tuck position by pulling in her arms and legs, she increases her angular speed. Before she goes into the tuck position, her angular velocity is 5.5 rad/s and she has a moment of inertia of 1.7 kg · m². Once she gets into the tuck position, her angular speed is 15.1 rad/s. Determine her moment of inertia when she is in the tuck position. Assume the net torque on her is zero. kg · m2
Two thin rectangular sheets (0.20 m x 0.47 m) are identical. In the first sheet the axis of rotation lies along the 0.20-m side, and in the second it lies along the 0.47-m side. The same torque is applied to each sheet. The first sheet, starting from rest, reaches its final angular velocity in 2.3 s. How long does it take for the second sheet, starting from rest, to reach the same angular velocity? Number i Units
A man ties one end of a strong rope 9.18 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.561 m from the ground, and the other end to a vertical tree trunk at a height of 3.30 m. He uses the truck to create a tension of 8.17 102 N in the rope. Compute the magnitude of the torque on the tree due to the tension in the rope, with the base of the tree acting as the reference point. N · m

A circular disk with a radius of 0.38 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction. The mass of the disc is 0.73 kg. The moment of inertia of a disc is I =1/2MR^2 F1 = 2.3 N applied at the outer edge of the disc. F2 = 3.6 N applied at a distance of 0.29 from the center of the disc. What is the angular acceleration of the disc?
A capstan is a device used on old sailing ships to raise the anchor. A sailor pushes the long lever, turning the capstan and winding up the anchor rope. If the capstan turns at a constant speed, the net torque on it, is zero. The rope tension due to the weight of the anchor is 1500 N. The distance from the axis to the point on the lever where the sailor pushes is seven times the radius of the capstan around which the rope is wound.With what force must the sailor push in order to turn the capstan at a constant speed, meaning that the net torque on the capstan is zero?
