Ephysicsl Experiment 6 - Torque - Finalreport

1. The document is an experiment report from a physics laboratory manual discussing torque. It contains questions about the factors that determine torque, examples of torque in seesaws and wrenches, and calculations of torque. 2. Torque depends on the force magnitude, direction, and point of application from the center of rotation. A larger boy should sit farther from the fulcrum on a seesaw for balance. 3. A 60 Newton force applied 12 cm from the end of a wrench produces 6 Nm of torque.

Experiment No. 6
TORQUE

QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS:


1. Give the factors that determine the effectiveness of a force in producing rotation.
- In statics, the net torque is zero, and there is no angular acceleration. In
rotational motion, net torque is the cause of angular acceleration, exactly as
in Newton’s second law of motion for rotation. Torque depends on three
factors: force magnitude, force direction, and point of application.
2. A bigger boy should sit nearer the fulcrum of a seesaw than a small boy. Explain.

3. A force of 60 Newtons is applied to the end of a wrench 12 centimeters long. How


much torque is produced?

4. Two students sit on a see-saw. Archie is a hulking football player with a mass of 120
kg. Clementine is a dainty cheerleader with a mass of 40 kg. The see-saw is 3.5 m in
total length with the fulcrum at the center. If Clementine sits at the end on one
side, where must Archie sit relative to the center to keep the see-saw balanced?

5. Where should a third 25.0 gram mass be placed on the mobile drawn below so that
the mobile will hang motionless? The mobile is 125 centimeters long and the
support is at the 50.0-centimeter mark. The first mass, m 1 is 25.0 centimeters from
the left end of the mobile and the third mass, m3 is at the right end of the mobile
(125.0 centimeters).

REMARKS AND CONCLUSION:


Torque is calculated by multiplying a linear force and the distance that force is exerted
from the center of rotation. Torque translates directly to a large force exerted by the
tires on the road's surface. As taught in basic physics, exerting a larger force on an
object will cause it to accelerate more quickly.
