Question
In the sketch F1 and F3 are directly to the right and left of the center of the disk respectively and F2 and F4 are above and below the center respectively. All forces are applied at the edge except F2 which is applied halfway between the center and edge of the object. If the radius of the object is 1.7 meters, F1 is 16 Newtons, F2 is 40 Newtons F3 is 67 Newtons, and F4 is 18 Newtons, what is the net torque about the center of the disk in N m produced by these forces only?If it is clockwise include a negative sign. F2 F1 F4Explanation / Answer
Here ,
for the net torque
net torque about the axis = - F1 * R - F2 * R/2 + F3 * R
net torque about the axis = - 16 * 1.7 - 40 * 1.7/2 + 67 * 1.70
net torque about the axis = 52.7 N.m
the net torque about the axis is 52.7 N.m
