Theory:
The rotational equivalent of force is defined as Torque(7). When a force Fis applied to a rigid body at any
point away from the center of mass, a torque is produced. Torque, 1 (Greek letter, tau), can be defined as
the tendency to cause rotation. The magnitude of the vector is:
i = Frsine
Where, r is the distance from the point of rotation to the point at which the force is being applied (i.e.,
lever arm), and Fr sin 0 is the component of the force perpendicular to r. The dimension of torque is [M]
[L] [T*] with unit of N.m
In part A, all forces will be acting normal (perpendicular) to the meter stick: 0 = 90°; therefore, sin 0 = 1.
The equation for torque is simplified:
i = Fr
Equilibrium is reached when the net force and net torque on an object are zero. The first condition is that
the vector sum of the forces must equal zero:
ΣF-ΣΕ-Σ , -Σ 0 Newton
The second condition that must be met is that the net torques about any axis of rotation must equal zero.
We will use the standard convention for summing torques. Torques that tend to cause counterclockwise
rotation(Tcc) will be positive torques, while torques that tend to cause clockwise rotation(Tc), will be
negative torque.
Στ= Στ. - Στ - Νm
The system under consideration for this experiment will need to not only attain equilibrium, but also
remain in equilibrium. This will require that the object be in stable equilibrium, meaning if a slight
displacement of the system occurs, the system will return to its original position. If the system were to
move farther from its original position when given a slight displacement, it would be in unstable and not
be in equlibrium.
