A rope is wound around a shaft 10 cm in diameter. If a pull of 500 N is exerted on the rope, what torque is imparted to the shaft?
Added by Mireia M.
Step 1
We are given the diameter of the shaft, which is 10 cm. We need to find the radius to calculate the torque. The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 5 cm or 0.05 m. Show more…

The radius of a wheel is 0.790 m. A rope is wound around the outer rim of the wheel. The rope is pulled with a force of magnitude 5.00 N, unwinding the rope and making the wheel spin CCW about its central axis. Ignore the mass of the rope. What is the torque on the wheel about its axis due to the rope?
