Answer:
2.3 Nm clockwise
Explanation:
Take counterclockwise to be positive and clockwise to be negative.
∑τ = (3 N) (2.5 m) − (7 N) (1.4 m)
∑τ = 7.5 Nm − 9.8 Nm
∑τ = -2.3 Nm
The net torque is 2.3 Nm clockwise.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calculate the volume of the lead

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead


This force will act in upward direction
Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction
Hence the difference of this two force

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

Now Total volume of bobble is

=
To reduce friction between two surfaces, you have to
make the surfaces smoother.
The best way to do that is to introduce a fluid between them,
like grease, oil, or air.
The force is opposite to the displacement
