A workman uses a wrench to apply a 100 N
force at a distance 0.15 meters away from the
center of a bolt. Calculate the torque created
by this force.
15 Nm if at 90 degree angle. Otherwise all bets are off.
To calculate the torque created by the force, you can use the formula:
Torque = force * distance
Given:
Force = 100 N
Distance = 0.15 meters
Substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the torque:
Torque = 100 N * 0.15 meters
Torque = 15 N·m
Therefore, the torque created by the force is 15 Newton-meters (N·m).
To calculate the torque created by a force, you need to know the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance from the force's line of action to the axis of rotation. In this case, the workman applies a 100 N force at a distance of 0.15 meters away from the center of the bolt.
To calculate the torque, you can use the formula:
Torque = Force x Distance
In this case, the force is 100 N and the distance is 0.15 meters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Torque = 100 N x 0.15 m = 15 Nm
So, the torque created by the 100 N force at a distance of 0.15 meters away from the center of the bolt is 15 Nm.
