Question

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together.Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force (N ) applied at 90∘ to the lever arm at a distance (m ) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound SI unit for the torque is N⋅m . If the force (at 90∘ to the lever arm) applied is 15 N and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?Express the torque using two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.0 x 10¹ Nm

Explanation:

Torque = F x r

Where F is force applied and r is perpendicular distance from pivot point . r

is also called lever arm

Here F = 15 N and r = 2.0 m

Torque

= 15 N X 2.0 m

= 3.0 10¹ Nm.
