EXERCISE B Two forces (\(F_B=20\ \mathrm N\) and \(F_A=30\mathrm{\ N}\)) are applied to a meter stick which can rotate about its left end, Fig. Force \(\vec{F}_{B}\) is applied perpendicularly at the midpoint. Which force exerts the greater torque: \(F_A,\ F_B\), or both the same? When more than one torque acts on an object, the angular acceleration is found to be proportional to the net torque. If all the torques acting on an object tend to rotate it in the same direction about a fixed axis of rotation, the net torque is the sum of the torques. But if, say, one torque acts to rotate an object in one direction, and a second torque acts to rotate the object in the opposite direction, the net torque is the difference of the two torques. We normally assign a positive sign to torques that act to rotate the object counterclockwise (just as \(\theta\) is usually positive counterclockwise), and a negative sign to torques that act to rotate the object clockwise. ________________ Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: F_B=20 N F_A=30 N vector{F}_B F_A, F_B theta vector{F}_B vector{F}_A 30^o
