Question 2 If the force F in both cases is the same; then the torque in A is equal in B True False
Added by Daniel N.
Step 1
Torque is the rotational force acting on an object, and it is calculated as the product of force (F) and the distance (r) from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied. Show more…

Computing torque Answer the following questions about torque. Let $\mathbf{r}=\overrightarrow{O P}=\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+2 \mathbf{k} .$ A force $\mathbf{F}=\langle 10,10,0\rangle$ is applied at $P .$ Find the torque about $O$ that is produced.

The torque exerted on an object can be written as τ⃗ = r⃗ × F⃗. Here, r⃗: a. is a vector pointing from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied. b. is always perpendicular to F⃗. c. is the radius of the object. d. is a vector pointing from the point where the force is applied to the axis of rotation.
