A bar of length 3.00 m is hinged at one end and experiences a force of 8.00 N at the other end. The torque applied is 10.0N⋅m. What must be the angle between the line of force and the extended line of the bar ϕ?
An 80 cm long thin rod whose axis of rotation is in the center has a mass of 0.142 kg. A 2.5 N force is applied at one end perpendicularly, while a second 1.5 N force is applied 10 cm from the opposite end. Both forces are applied in the same direction. (a) Find the angular acceleration. (b) Determine the force needed for the rod to be in equilibrium, if the third force is applied at a 300 angle halfway between the 2.5 N and the axis of rotation.

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 36.1o 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.
When you hold an ball by only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.80 kg. The biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.50 cm from the elbow, and it holds a 44.5 N (about 10 lbs) ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 35.0 cm from the elbow. What is the magnitude of the torque about the elbow by the ball, 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.
A 17.0-m length of hose is wound around a reel, which is initially at rest. The moment of inertia of the reel is 0.490 kg-m², and its radius is 0.150 m. When turning, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 3.20 N-m on the reel. If the hose is pulled so that the tension in it remains a constant 26.0 N, how long does it take to completely unwind the hose from the reel? Neglect the mass and the thickness of the hose, and assume that the hose unwinds without slipping.

Two children hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angle of 27.0° above the horizontal. One child, with a mass of 41.0 kg, is hanging 1.05 m along the branch from the tree trunk. The other child, with a mass of 31.0 kg, is hanging 2.35 m from the tree trunk. What is the magnitude of the net torque exerted on the branch by the children? Assume that the axis is located where the branch joins the tree trunk and is perpendicular to the plane formed by the branch and the trunk.
