Question

<p>The figure shows a jet engine suspended beneath the wing of an airplane. The weight <img src="http://edugen.wileyplus.com/edugen/courses/crs2216/art/qb/qu/c09/Wvec.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" /> of the engine is 12000 N and acts as shown in the figure. In flight the engine produces a thrust <img src="http://edugen.wileyplus.com/edugen/courses/crs2216/art/qb/qu/c09/Tvec.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" /> of 64100 N that is parallel to the ground. The rotational axis in the figure is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. With respect to this axis, find the magnitude of the torque due to <strong>(a)</strong> the weight and <strong>(b)</strong> the thrust.</p>
