Answer:
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.
Explanation:
Given details:
The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg
The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg
The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m
(a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp
Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).
