As shown in the figure, a given force is applied to a rod in several different ways. In which case is the torque about the pivot P due to this force the smallest?

As Shown In The Figure A Given Force Is Applied To A Rod In Several Different Ways In Which Case Is The Torque About The Pivot P Due To This Force The Smallest class=

Answer :

Answer:

OPTION 5

Explanation:

As the force has no moment arm, it creates no torque about point P.

The option with the smallets torque is about the pivot P is option 5.

Torque about a point

The about a given point due to the applied force acting at a perpendicular distance is determined from the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance.

τ = rFsinθ

where;

  • r is the perpendicular distance
  • F is the applied force
  • θ is the angle of the inclination

For option 5, the angle of the applied force = 0

τ = rFsin(0)

τ = 0

Thus, the option with the smallets torque is about the pivot P is option 5.
