Question

Revolutionaries attempt to pull down a statue of the Great Leader by pulling on a rope tied to the top of his head. The statue is 17 m tall, and they pull with a force of 4200 N at an angle of 65° to the horizontal. What is the torque they exert on the statue? If they are standing to the right of the statue, is the torque positive or negative?

Step 1

Given that the force is 4200 N at an angle of 65° to the horizontal, we can find the horizontal component of the force using trigonometry: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = 4200 \times \cos(65°) \] Show more…
