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.
