Answer 1

Answer:

Counter Clockwise Torque = 360 Nm

Clockwise Torque = 240 Nm

Explanation:

As we know that torque is defined as the product of perpendicular force and distance from reference point.

So here as we can see the given figure the force of the left side of support will try to rotate the rod in counter clockwise direction so it is providing counter clockwise torque.

$\tau = r \times F$

$\tau = 9 \times 40 = 360 Nm$

Similarly we can see the force of the right side of support will try to rotate the rod in clockwise direction so it is providing clockwise torque.

$\tau = r \times F$

$\tau = 3 \times 80 = 240 Nm$

Answer 2

Counter clockwise torque is 360Nm. 
Clockwise torque is 240Nm. 

40 * 9 = 360
80 * 3 = 240
