In the following lever system, what is the clockwise torque? 18 Nm 240 Nm 360 Nm 480 Nm
2 answers:
Answer:
240 Nm
Explanation:
The clockwise torque is the torque determined only by the force that makes the lever rotating clockwise: therefore, the force of 80 N on the right.
The torque produced by this force is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the arm
For the force of 80 N on the right,
F = 80 N
d = 3 m (distance from the pivot)
So, the clockwise moment is

Answer:
5 m/s2, left
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that:
where:
is the net force acting on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have:
(to the left) is the net force on the object
m = 2.0 kg is the mass
So, the acceleration is:
in the same direction as the force (left).
