The turning effect of a force about a point is called:
A force of 10 N acts at a perpendicular distance of 0.5 m from a pivot. What is the torque?
For a body to be in equilibrium, the resultant force and resultant torque must be:
The centre of gravity of a uniform metre rule lies at the:
Two equal and opposite parallel forces that do not act along the same line form a:
A body is more stable when its centre of gravity is:
The SI unit of torque is:
A spanner with a longer handle makes it easier to turn a nut because the:
A body is in rotational equilibrium when the net:
The centre of mass of a uniform circular disc is at its:
1. A, 2. B, 3. C, 4. C, 5. C, 6. A, 7. B, 8. A, 9. B, 10. A
Torque, or moment of force, measures the turning effect of a force.
Torque = force x perpendicular distance = 10 x 0.5 = 5 N m.
Both the net force and the net torque must be zero for equilibrium.
For a uniform rod the centre of gravity is at its middle, the 50 cm mark.
Such a pair of forces is called a couple and produces rotation without translation.
A low centre of gravity and a wide base make it harder to topple.
Torque is force times distance, in newton metre.
A longer arm gives more torque.
The clockwise and anticlockwise torques balance.
For a uniform disc it is at the geometric centre.
