Two separate forces are applied to the segment producing two separate torques. The magnitude of Torque A is equal to 100 Nm and the magnitude of Torque B is equal to 125 Nm. Taking into consideration the direction of both Torque A and Torque B, what is the resultant net torque when you sum the torques and which direction will the segment rotate?

A. Net torque = +25 Nm; Direction of rotation = clockwise

B. Net torque = + 25 Nm; Direction of rotation = counterclockwise

C. Net torque = - 25 Nm; Direction of rotation = clockwise

D. Net torque = -25 Nm; Direction of rotation = counterclockwise

Two forces, F1 and F2, have the same magnitude and both act on an object that can rotate about a fixed axis of rotation. If the forces F1 and F2 point in opposite directions, and the torque produced by F1 is clockwise, then the torque produced by F2 must be counterclockwise. True or false?

Two painters are working on a platform hanging off the side of a building. The platform is 10 meters long and supported by two cables. The painters are represented by vector forces in the free-body drawing below. The weights of the objects are: Platform 184 N, Sue 130 N, Jack 220 N. Calculate the force in each cable when the painters are in the position shown below(Case 1). To start, locate the pivot point where Cable 1 attached to the...

A child pushes her friend (m = 25 kg) located at a radius r = 1.5 m on a merry-go-round (rmgr = 2.0 m, Imgr = 1000 kg*m2) with a constant force F = 90 N applied tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round (i.e., the force is perpendicular to the radius). The merry-go-round resists spinning with a frictional force of f = 10 N acting at a radius of 1 m and a frictional torque τ = 15 N*m...
