Calculate torque for F4 **Determining Torque on a Plywood Sheet**The plywood sheet illustrated in the diagram measures 2.0 m × 2.0 m. Each of the four forces acting on the sheet has a magnitude of 8.0 N. The sheet is subjected to these forces relative to an axis perpendicular to the page, passing through the top left corner of the sheet.**Objective:** Calculate the magnitude of the torque for each force.### Diagram Review:- **Center of Rotation:** This is located at the top left corner of the plywood sheet.- **Grid Layout:** The sheet is divided into a grid by orange lines.- **Forces:** - \( F_1 \) (acting downward at the center of the bottom edge) - \( F_2 \) (acting leftward at the center of the right edge) - \( F_3 \) (acting rightward at the center of the sheet) - \( F_4 \) (acting upward at the center of the top edge) To determine the torque (\( \tau \)) generated by each force, we utilize the equation:\[ \tau = F \cdot r \cdot \sin(\theta) \]Where:- \( F \) is the magnitude of the force,- \( r \) is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force,- \( \theta \) is the angle between \( F \) and \( r \).Since all forces are perpendicular to their respective \( r \)-distances (\(\theta = 90^{\circ}\)), \(\sin(90^{\circ}) = 1\), simplifying the torque equation to:\[ \tau = F \cdot r \]### Detailed Calculation of Torque:1. **Torque Due to \( F_1 \):** - Distance (\( r \)) from the center of rotation (top left corner) to the acting point of \( F_1 \) is 2.0 m. - \( \tau_{1} = 8.0 \, \text{N} \times 2.0 \, \text{m} = 16.0 \, \text{Nm} \) (clockwise).2. **Torque Due to \( F_2 \):** - Distance (\( r \)) from the center of rotation to the acting point of \(

Review. A piece of putty is initially located at point A on the rim of a grinding wheel rotating at constant angular speed about a horizontal axis. The putty is dislodged from point A when the diameter through A is horizontal. It then rises vertically and returns to A at the instant the wheel completes one revolution. From this information, we wish to find the speed v of the putty when it leaves the wheel and the force holding it to the wheel. (a) What analysis model is appropriate for the motion of the putty as it rises and falls? (b) Use this model to find a symbolic expression for the time interval between when the putty leaves point A and when it arrives back at A, in terms of v and g. (c) What is the appropriate analysis model to describe point A on the wheel? (d) Find the period of the motion of point A in terms of the tangential speed v and the radius R of the wheel. (e) Set the time interval from part (b) equal to the period from part (d) and solve for the speed v of the putty as it leaves the wheel. (f) If the mass of the putty is m, what is the magnitude of the force that held it to the wheel before it was released?
As shown in Figure OQ10.7, a cord is wrapped onto a cylindrical reel mounted on a fixed, friction less, horizontal axle. When does the reel have a greater magnitude of angular acceleration? (a) When the cord is pulled down with a constant force of 50 N. (b) When an object of weight 50 X is hung from the cord and released, (c) The angular accelerations in parts (a) and (b) are equal, (d) It is impossible to determine.
Two children are playing with a roll of paper towels. One child holds the roll between the index fingers of her hands so that it is free to rotate, and the second child pulls at constant speed on the free end of the paper towels. As the child pulls the paper towels, the radius of the roll of remaining towels decreases. (a) How does the torque on the roll change with time? (b) How does the angular speed of the roll change in time? (c) If the child suddenly jerks the end paper towel with a large force, is the towel more likely to break from the others when it is being pulled from a nearly full roll or from a nearly empty roll?
Unreasonable Results A gymnast doing a forward flip lands on the mat and exerts a 500- Nm torque to slow and then reverse her angular velocity. Her initial angular velocity is 10.0 rad/s, and her moment of inertia is 0.050kgm2. (a) What time is required for her to exactly reverse her spin? (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
The moment of inertia of a long rod spun around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length is ML2/3 Why is this moment of inertia greater than it would be if you spun a point mass M at the location of the center of mass of the rod (at L/2)? (That would be ML2/4.)
Additional Problems A typical propeller of a turbine used to generate electricity from the wind consists of three blades as in Figure P8.75. Each blade has a length of L = 35 in and a mass of m = 420 kg. The propeller rotates at the rate of 25 rev/min. (a) Convert the angular speed of the propeller to units of rad/s. Find (b) the moment of inertia of the propeller about the axis of rotation and (c) the total kinetic, energy of the propeller. Figure P8.75
Two forces are acting on an object. Which of the following statements is correct? (a) The object is in equilibrium if the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (b) The object is in equilibrium if the net torque on the object is zero. (c) The object is in equilibrium if the forces act at the same point on the object. (d) The object is in equilibrium if the net force and the net torque on the object are both zero. (e) The object cannot be in equilibrium because more than one force acts on it.

Unreasonable Results An advertisement claims that an 800-kg car is aided by its 20.0-kg flywheel, which can accelerate the car from rest to a speed of 30.0 m/s. The flywheel is a disk with a 0.150-m radius. (a) Calculate the angular velocity the flywheel must have if 95.0% of its rotational energy is used to get the car up to speed. (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premise is unreasonable or which premises are inconsistent?
While reducing the mass of a racing bike, the greatest benefit is realized from reducing the mass of the tires and wheel rims. Why does this allow a racer to achieve greater accelerations than would an identical reduction in the mass of the bicycle's frame? Figure 10.32 The Image shows a side view of a racing bicycle. Can you see evidence in the design of the wheels on this racing bicycle that their moment of inertia has been purposely reduced? (credit: Jesus Rodriguez)
