Answer:
the answer to your question is c
Answer:
distance or displacement
Explanation:
the answer can be displacement or displacement. if the required measure is between two points, we can call it as distance. but if we are to find the distance moved, we call it displacement. though it sounds pretty similar, they are very different. displacement is the shortest distance of movement of a body to its final point (or to the asked point) and distance is the total distance travelled by the body. and while distance is a scalar quantity, that this value shows the magnitude, displacement is a vector quantity, that this value should show both magnitude and direction.
for example if an object travels from point A to point B that is a 10 meters away and back, the distance will be 10+10 which is 20 meters. but the displacement is 0!
since not much information is given, the answer can be both distance or displacement
Complete Question
An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 70 cm long and has a mass of 4.0 kg. Assume, a bit unrealistically, that the athlete's arm is uniform.
What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor? Include the torque due to the steel ball, as well as the torque due to the arm's weight.
Answer:
The torque is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the steel ball is
The length of arm is
The mass of the arm is
Given that the arm of the athlete is uniform them the distance from the shoulder to the center of gravity of the arm is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Generally the magnitude of torque about the athlete shoulder is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
