Required information A tower outside the Houses of Parliament in London has a famous clock commonly referred to as Big Ben, the name of its 13.0-ton chiming bell. The hour hand of each clock face is 2.70 m long and has a mass of 42.8 kg. Assume the hour hand to be a uniform rod attached at one end. What is the torque due to the weight of one hour hand about the same axis when the clock tolls 9:00 A.M.? N.m
