A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.

A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame so that the door can close on its own after being opened. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.2 Nm. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open (in Newtons)?

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

Which is more accurate slope o average?
Novay_Z [31]
As long as the graph is a straight line they both will give same answer. Edit: In the case of errors,I think the most fitting slope line is more accurate method,because taking average is same as drawing a line from initial to final point of the line and taking its slope.
Hope it helps

Does frictional force increase or decrease based on velocity?
leonid [27]

Explanation:

Many would know it as a reaction force. Reaction force is the force by the surface on the object perpendicular to it's motion. So if we apply force on the sliding block perpendicular to it's direction of motion, friction will increase. ... That force is proportional to the velocity with which it is moving.
