A car travels at 80 km/h on a level road in the positive direction of an x axis. Each tire has a diameter of 66 cm. Relative to a woman riding in the car and in unit-vector notation, what are the velocity at the (a) center, (b) top, and (c) bottom of the tire and the magnitude a of the acceleration at the (d) center, (e) top, and (f) bottom of each tire? Relative to a hitchhiker sitting next to the road and in unit-vector notation, what are the velocity at the (g) center, (h) top, and (i) bottom of the tire and the magnitude a of the acceleration at the (j) center, (k) top, and (l) bottom of each tire?

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
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.
