A 4.00-m-long, 470 kg steel beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building

under construction. A 75.0 kg construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view a Video Tutor Solution. What is the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place?

Answer:

12164.4 Nm

Explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

Given values are;

m1= 470 kg

x= 4m

m2= 75kg

Cm = center of mass

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.82 m/s^2

The distance of centre of mass is x/2

Center of mass(1) = x/2

But x= 4 m

Then substitute, we have,

Center of mass(1) = 4/2 = 2m

We can find the total torque, through the summation of moments that comes from both the man and the beam.

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

But

τ(1)= ( Center of m1 × m1 × g)= (2× 470× 9.81)

= 9221.4Nm

τ(2)= X * m2 * g = ( 4× 75 × 9.81)= 2943Nm

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

= 9221.4Nm + 2943Nm

= 12164.4 Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place is 12164.4 Nm

Two upwards forces act: one of 34N which is 3.5m to the left of the axle, the other is 25N and is 2.6m to the right of the axle.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, you want to know if you put an object between these forces, which direction would go.

To know this, we need to calculate the moment of an object, which is defined as the product of a force and it's distance. In other words:

M = F * d   (1)

And, in order to reach equilibrium the force will exert a direction in clockwise or anticlosewise, and these moments, should be even:

anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment.

The clockwise would be the forces to the right, and anticlock would the only force to the left of the axle.

Clockwise moment = (10 * 0.8) + (25 * 2.6) = 73 Ns

Anticlockwise moment = 34 * 3.5 = 119 Ns.

As we can see, the moment in the anticlockwise is higher than the actual clockwise moment, therefore, we can assume that the object will move anticlockwise, or simply move to the left.

Hope this helps
