Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force ( n ) applied at 90 â to the lever arm at a distance ( m ) from the pivot poin

t (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is nâm . if the force (at 90 â to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Answer:

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as tendency of a force to rotate a body around its axis. Mathematically written as:

\tau=Force\times d\times \sin \theta

Force applied on the lever arm at 90°= 15 N

Distance at which force is applied = d = 2.0 m

\tau =15 N\times 2.0 m\times \sin 90^o= 30.0 N m

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

The Torque on the lever is 30Nm.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2>

Torque

  • It is a measure of the amount of force acting on an object that causes the object to rotate about an axis.
  • Torque is a vector quantity, in the sense that it has both magnitude and direction.
  • Example of torque; when a push is applied on a door, then the distance to the hinge is the perpendicular distance, meaning it is at 90 degrees to the force arrow.
<h3>Calculation of Torque </h3>
  • Torque is calculated by the formula;

T = F x r sin θ

Where r is the length of the moment arm, F is the force making an object to rotate and θ is the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.

  • When the force is at right angles to the moment arm then the sin is 1 and the formula becomes;

Torque = F x r

The S.I. units of torque is Newton-meter.

<h3>In the question; </h3>

Force applied at the lever arm is 15 N  

Distance from the axis of rotation to the force vector is 2.0 m

Angle between the vector force and the moment arm is 90  

Therefore;

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance  

             = 15 N x 2.0 m

            = 30 Nm  

Therefore; The Torque on the lever is 30 Nm

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Solid materials that do not possess an orderly arrangement of atoms are called glasses (mineraloids).

Explanation:

A Mineraloid is a natural, inorganic, amorphous (lacking "defined chemical composition") solid body that does not exhibit crystallinity. It exhibits characteristics similar to those of minerals, but does not have the "ordered atomic structure" necessary to meet the definition of a mineral.

Glasses or colloids have a totally random structure on an atomic scale. They are amorphous and get the honorary name of mineraloid.
