Question

Determine the amount of torque
applied by a 1.0 m long pry bar with
250 N of force acting on it. Assume
that the angle is 90°.

Answer 1

Answer:

250Nm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of the long pry bar  = 1m

Force acting on it  = 250N

Angle  = 90°

Unknown:

Amount of torque applied  = ?

Solution:

Torque is the turning force on a body that causes the rotation of the body.

The formula is given as:

 Torque  = Force x r Sin Ф  

r is the distance

 So;

   Torque  = 250 x 1 x sin 90  = 250Nm
