prelab 10.

a) Look at the diagram in the Basic Concepts part of the lab, under Equilibrium. Two forces act on opposite ends of a uniform rod of mass m and length L, in opposite directions. The rod is supported by a fulcrum at the center, which is the axis of rotation. The force and torque exerted by the fulcrum on the rod are

F = mg + F, = 2FL

F = mg + F, = FL/2

F = 0, = 0

F = 0, = 2FL

F = mg, = 0

F = mg, = 2FL

F = 0, = FL

F = mg + F, = FL

F = mg, = FL

F = mg + F, = 0

F = 0, = FL/2

F = mg, = FL/2

b) In procedure 2, you balance the ruler. If the density of the ruler increases without changing its dimensions, the ruler will

Explanation / Answer

So for the first one we realize that since force is equal to mass times gravity F= mg. On the other hand torque here is 0, they tell you that in the description in the lab.
