Chapter 11 Problem 20

Question

A plum is located at coordinates (%2.0 m, 0, 4.0 m). In unitvector notation, what is the torque about the origin on the plum if that torque is due to a force whose only component is (a) Fx ! 6.0 N, (b) Fx ! %6.0 N, (c) Fz ! 6.0 N, and (d) Fz ! %6.0 N?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A plum is located at coordinates (%2.0 m, 0, 4.0 m). In unitvector notation, what is the torque about the origin on the plum if that torque is due to a force whose only component is (a) Fx ! 6.0 N, (b) Fx ! %6.0 N, (c) Fz ! 6.0 N, and (d) Fz ! %6.0 N?
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
