Determine the torques about the axis of rotation P produced by each of the four

Question

Determine the torques about the axis of rotation P produced by each of the four forces shown in the figure (Figure 1) . All forces have magnitudes of 120 N and are exerted a distance of 2.0 m from P on some unshown object O.

Part A) Determine the torque about the axis of rotation P produced by F1onO

Part B) Determine the torque about the axis of rotation P produced by F2onO .

Part C) Determine the torque about the axis of rotation P produced by F3onO .

Part D) Determine the torque about the axis of rotation P produced by F4onO

Explanation / Answer

A) Torque T1 = r1*F1onO*sin(0) = 0 N-m

B) Torque T2 = r2*F2onO*sin(50) = 120*2*sin(50) = -183.85 N-m

C) TorqueT3 = r3*F3onO = 120*2*sin(90) = 240 N-m

D) Torque T4 = r4*F4onO = 120*2*sin(90) = -240 N-m
