Remembering that = R sin ϕ and τ = F if we are given a certain torquing force, 10 N, to act on a wheel of radius 2m, what is the maximum torque we can apply?
Select one:
a. 20 N m
b. 0 N m
c. 5 N m
d. 10 N m
For linear equilibrium, net force, F = m a = 0, by newton's second law. What would Newton's Second Law for Rotations be for a system in rotational equilibrium? i.e. how can we express the net torque for a system with constant angular velocity? Let τ represent net torque, α represent angular velocity, I represent moment of inertia, and m and a represent mass and linear acceleration as usual.
Select one:
a. τ = m a = 0 because m = 0
b. τ = I α = 0 because α = 0
c. τ = m a = 0 because a = 0
d. τ = I α = 0 because I = 0
The idea of the force multiplier in torque is sometimes referred to as leverage. There is a famous quote from Archimedes that goes, 'Give me a fixed point and a lever long enough and I shall move the world.' How can we understand this in terms of leverage?
Select one:
a. Long levers are not useful
b. Long levers can generate large forces
c. Leverage doesn't matter when torquing forces are applied
d. Leverage has little read-world application
How does Conservation of Angular Momentum help to produce seasons on Earth?
Select one:a. Conservation of Angular Momentum results in the Earth orbiting closer to the Sun in the Summer
b. The Earth’s rotational axis points in the same direction in space throughout its orbit around the Sun due to Conservation of Angular Momentum
c. The Earth’s rotational axis points in a different direction each 6 months due to Conservation of Angular Momentum
d. Conservation of Angular Momentum results in the Earth's rotational axis always pointing towards the Sun

1. From the torque equation we find that all of the given options are correct. (Option d.)
2. Maximum value of sin ϕ = 1. so max value of torque = F × l = F × R = 10 × 2 = 20 N m ( option a)
3. If angular velocity is constant then angular acceleration , α = 0.
So, from newton's second law of rotational motion, τ = I α = 0. ( option b)
4. The quote directly implies that long levers can produce large forces.( Option b)
5. From conservation of angular momentum, it is found that earth rotates in a fixed axis. Due to this there are different seasons around the year. (Option b.)
