Explanation:

see, torque=force × perpendicular distance

...that perpendicular distance is between axis of rotation and the point where force acts... so in above's case perpendicular distance is zero... so the torque is zero!

Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

$Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\$

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m</u>

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

$Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\$

<u>Direction = 65.48°</u>

madam [21]

For thermometers to read temperatures correctly, they must be immersed in the substance being measured while reading the temperature. When they are taken out the substance, there is a possibility that the fluid inside would change its level due to the sudden change in the temperature. Thus, giving you an erroneous reading of the temperature.
