Step 1
We need to find the magnitude of the force \(F\) that creates a clockwise moment of 15 N·m about point O. The lever makes an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the horizontal, and the force is applied at the end of the lever. Show more…

A horizontal lever of length 4.5 m is pivoted at its midpoint. A 15 N downward force (force with a downward vertical component) that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal-left is acting at the right end of the lever. Calculate the torque acting on the lever.

A force of 5.0 N is applied at the end of a lever that has a length of 2.0 meters. a.) If the force is applied directly perpendicular to the the lever, what is the magnitude of the torque acting the lever? b.) If the same force as in example 1 is applied at an angle of 30 degrees at the end of the 2.0 meter lever, what will be the magnitude of the torque?
Aparna S.
If the force (at 90 degrees to the lever arm) applied is 15 N and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?
