A metal rod 6.00 m long is held in a horizontal position. An object with mass 5.

Question

A metal rod 6.00 m long is held in a horizontal position. An object with mass 5.70 kg is suspended from a light rope that is attached 4.00 m from the left-hand end of the rod, as shown in the figure below. Take counterclockwise torques to be positive. For an axis at the right-hand end of the rod, what is the torque exerted on the rod by the tension in the rope?

For an axis at the right-hand end of the rod, what is the torque exerted on the rod by the tension in the rope?

Explanation / Answer

it would be force x distance from the axis

so 5.7 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 2 m = 111.72 N m
