Answer:
Explanation:
The torque of a force is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation of the system
is the angle between the direction of the force and d
In this problem, we have:
, the force
, the distance of application of the force from the centre (0,0)
, the angle between the direction of the force and a
Therefore, the torque is
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.
As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.
