A017 - Introduction to Torque
Sign Convention for Torques
In Figure 1 the rectangular object rotates about its centre (the black dot).
For the following questions, identify whether the forces will produce a positive or
negative torque.
A Question 5 (1 point) Retake question
In Figure 2F_(A)=7.83N,F_(B)=6.33N,F_(C)=7.36N,\theta _(A)=46.6\deg ,\theta _(B)=104\deg and \theta _(C)=
25.1\deg . The rectangular rod has a length of L=1.29m and F_(B) acts at the centre of the
rod.
Calculate the net torque about the axis O .
Enter your answer in N*m. Do not enter any units. Remember that positive torques
indicate a counter-clockwise rotation while negative torques indicate a clockwise
rotation.
