Physics A Homework - Chapter (part ) Finding Torque A orce F o magnitude F making an ange with the x axis is appied to a partice ocated aong axis o rotation A, at Cartesian coordinates (,) in the igure. The vector F ies in the xy pane, and the our axes o rotation A, B, C, and D a ie perpendicuar to the xy pane. A) What is the torque A about axis A due to the orce F? The orce passes through the point A, so there is no arm and the torque is zero. B) What is the torque B about axis B due to the orce F? (B is the point at Cartesian coordinates (, b), ocated a distance b om the origin aong the y axis.) The magnitude o the torque is rf where F is the component o the orce perpendicuar to r. Note that the torque can aso be cacuated with the concept o the moment arm rf, where r is the component o the radia vector perpendicuar to the direction o the orce. The answer is the same. In most probems it is easier to visuaize the perpendicuar component o the orce. We wi use what is simpest in a given probem. r b F Fcos The direction o the torque oows the convention: positive i it produces a countercockwise rotation and negative i it produces a cockwise rotation.

(D is the point ocated a distance d om the origin and making an ange φ with the x axis.) The ange between F and the r vector AD is ( φ ).

Waker, Physics, 4 th Edition D df sin( φ ) Torque Magnitude Ranking Task The wrench in the igure has six orces o equa magnitude acting on it. Rank these orces (A through F) on the basis o the magnitude o the torque they appy to the wrench, measured about an axis centered on the bot. The arger the radius, the arger the torque magnitude. The arger the perpendicuar projection onto the radia direction, the arger the torque. Then in decreasing order: D, (B,E), F, A, C Torque! The car shown in the igure has mass m (this incudes the mass o the whees). The whees have radius r, mass m W, and moment o inertia I km W r. Assume that the axes appy the same torque to a our whees. For simpicity, aso assume that the weight is distributed uniormy so that a the whees experience the same norma reaction om the ground, and so the same ictiona orce. A) I there is no sipping, a ictiona orce must exist between the whees and the ground. In what direction does the ictiona orce act? Take the positive x direction to be to the right. The ictiona orce acts in the positive x direction. B) Use Newton's aws to ind an expression or the net externa orce acting on the car. Ignore air resistance. The vertica orces baance.
