Can you please help with this problem. I don't know how to solve it at all.

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 32.3 kg and a radius of 0.464 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0 N and 125 N are applied to the disk.

(a) What is the net torque produced by the two forces? (Assume counterclockwise is the positive direction.)
Nm
(b) What is the angular acceleration of the disk?
rad/s2

The torque about the axle requires further information on where and in what direction the forces are applied. Was there supposed to be a figure with this question?

I know the answer... but its probably too late for you.

To solve this problem, we need to have additional information about the locations and directions of the applied forces. The torque depends on both the magnitude and the direction of the forces with respect to the rotation axis of the disk.

If there is missing information or a figure that should go along with this question, please provide the necessary details or refer to the given figure.

However, I can explain the general steps you would need to follow to solve a torque problem like this.

Step 1: Identify the known quantities:
- Mass of the disk (m): 32.3 kg
- Radius of the disk (r): 0.464 m
- Magnitude of force 1 (F1): 90.0 N
- Magnitude of force 2 (F2): 125 N

Step 2: Determine the torque produced by each force:
- Torque produced by a force (τ) is given by the formula τ = r * F, where r is the radius and F is the force.
- Calculate the torque produced by force 1 (τ1) using the given force and radius.
- Calculate the torque produced by force 2 (τ2) using the given force and radius.

Step 3: Calculate the net torque:
- The net torque (τnet) is the vector sum of the torques produced by the individual forces.
- If the forces are applied in the same direction, add their torques together. If they are applied in opposite directions, subtract one from the other.

Step 4: Calculate the angular acceleration:
- The angular acceleration (α) is related to the net torque by the formula α = τnet / I, where I is the moment of inertia of the disk.
- The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about its center is given by the formula I = (1/2) * m * r^2 (where m is the mass and r is the radius).

Using these steps, you can solve for the net torque and the angular acceleration once you have all the necessary information about the forces and their locations.
