Question
Figures 1 and 2 show a beam that can pivot on the plane of the paper about an axle through point P.A force(also in the plane of the paper) is applied on the beam as shown in each case. let x=.52 m and F=34 N. What is the torque exerted bt F about point P, in N*m? I under stand this you just do .52x34 I get 17.68.
but the 2nd question is tricking me,
2. The uncertainties in the measurements are eX=+-.2 m and eF=+-3N. What is the propagated uncertainty in the torque, in N*M? It says
Thanks so much for whoever helps! Please show work
