Answer:
T = 37.08 [N*m]
Explanation:
We must remember that torque is defined as the product of a force by a distance. This distance is measured from the point of application of force to the center of rotation of the rotating body.
The force is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
![F=m*g\\F=70*9.81\\F=686.7[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3Dm%2Ag%5C%5CF%3D70%2A9.81%5C%5CF%3D686.7%5BN%5D)
Now the torque can be calculated:
![T=F*r\\T=686.7*0.054\\T=37.08[N*m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=T%3DF%2Ar%5C%5CT%3D686.7%2A0.054%5C%5CT%3D37.08%5BN%2Am%5D)

<h2>
Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = ?
Time, t = 6.8 s
Displacement, s = 1/4 mi = 400 meters
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²
a = 17.30 m/s²
Now we have equation of motion v = u + at
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Final velocity, v = ?
Time, t = 6.8 s
Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²
Substituting
v = u + at
v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8
v = 117.65 m/s
Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s
Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.
