7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

$\tau=Fd sin \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

$d_1 > d_2$

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

$\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0$

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

The reactive force developed by a jet engine to push an airplane forward is called thrust, and the thrust developed by the engin

finlep [7]

The value of the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 in N and Kgf are ;

i) 376616N

ii) 38430Kgf

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is a push or a pull. The reactive force always serve to balance the applied force. We are here asked to convert the the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 which is about 85400 lbf to the following units;

i) N

ii)kgf

Thus;

1 Ib = 0.45 Kg

1 lbf = 0.45 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.41 N

We know that;

1 lbf = 4.41 N

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf. * 4.41 N/1 lbf

= 376616N

Again;

1 lbf = 0.45 Kgf

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf * 0.45 Kgf/1 lbf
