letter a because 4N to the left +3N to the right = 4N left minus 3N left as you change the direction of 3N then you also change the plus into minus. the direction will always favour to which of the direction is bigger
Answer:
a) Image attached
b) It is acting CW
c) τ = 0.294N.m
Explanation:
As you can see in the image, the ruler will rotate clockwise.
For the total torque: τ = -W*(0.5 - 0.35) The distance used is from 35cm to 50cm
τ = -0.294N.m The magnitude is therefore: 0.294N
