The steering of a car has a radius 16cm . Find the torque produce by a couple of 50N .

torque: 2*50*.16 in N-m

Yes

Yuuu

To find the torque produced by a couple, we need to know the force applied and the length of the lever arm, which is the distance from the axis of rotation (steering axis in this case) to the point where the force is applied.

Given:
Force (F) = 50 N
Radius (r) = 16 cm

To calculate the torque (τ):
Torque (τ) = Force (F) * Radius (r)

First, let's convert the radius from centimeters (cm) to meters (m) since the SI unit for distance is meters.

1 cm = 0.01 m

Radius (r) = 16 cm * 0.01 m/cm
Radius (r) = 0.16 m

Now we can calculate the torque:

Torque (τ) = 50 N * 0.16 m
Torque (τ) = 8 N·m

Therefore, the torque produced by a couple of 50 N when the steering radius is 16 cm is 8 N·m.
