An extended body (not shown in the figure) has its center of mass at the origin of the reference frame. In the case below give t
he direction for the torque τ with respect to the center of mass of the body due to force F acting on the body at a location indicated by the vector r. Options are:
X
-Y
Z
-Z
The direction of torque τ this method is mathematically given as
D=X
Option A is correct.
<h3>What is the direction of torque?</h3>
Generally, the equation for torque is mathematically given as
τ = r X F
Hence to decipher the torque direction with respect to the center of mass of the body due to force F acting on the body at a location indicated by the vector r
We utilize our right hand.
Place our right-hand fingers along the path of r
Place our right-hand palm on F
Then slowly we sweep r into F.
The path or direction of the thumb will provide the direction of the torque.
From p1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2 pressure unchanged ... cancelled out v1=605 , t1=27C = 300K, t2=-3C = 270K ***remember temperature must be in Kelvin we got 605/300 = v2/270 v2 = 545
