What is Torque? Turning effect about a pivot Force that tries to ‘rotate’ an object ‘Spinning force’

τ = torque (a.k.a. moment) F = force d = distance from the pivot Torque is measured in ______ Clockwise or Anticlockwise

Pivot Pivot = the stationary point about which the torque can act or an object can revolve

The relationship between F and d

Question A force of 10 N which acts at 8 cm from the pivot is needed to lift the cap off a bottle of soft drink as shown below. Find the size and the direction of the torque being applied.

What is Equilibrium? F net = 0 τ net = 0

Total Total Clockwise + Anticlockwise = Moments 0 It means…

a) Calculate the anticlockwise torque b) Calculate the clockwise torque c)Which is greater? Anticlockwise torque or clockwise torque? 12 kg 8 kg 60 cm40 cm Example #1

Aaron (70 kg) Bob (50 kg) Aaron is 1.5 m away from the pivot whereas Bob is 2 m away from the pivot. What will happen to the see saw? Where do you think Bob will have to be to balance the see saw?

The mass of the rock is 100 kg and it is sitting on one end of the stick, 50 cm away from the pivot as shown in the diagram. If the man exerts a force of 200 N downwards to the other end of the stick which is 3 m away from the pivot, would he be able to lift the rock?

Centre of Mass The weight of an object acts down through the object’s centre of mass. This is the point at which, if an object is suspended or pivoted, the object will balance. Watch out for any objects of “negligible mass”
