Torque For a force applied perpendicularly τ = magnitude of torque (Greek letter tau) r = distance from axis to force F = force Direction: Torque resulting from a force is + if the rotation is counterclockwise and – if the rotation is clockwise Counterclockwise +, clockwise ? S.I. Units: newton-meters (N?m) Torque Imagine a dog-flap door Rotates on a hinge Allowing pets to enter and leave a house at will Axis of Rotation Force: * If the dog pushed on the door with the same force but at a point closer to the hinge, the door would be more difficult to rotate Lever Arm: Perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line draw along the direction of the force Lever Arm Torque, angle lever arm * Preview Kinetic Books 11.2 Forces do not have to be perpendicular to an object to cause the object to rotate τ = r × F τ = rF sin θ τ = Torque (N x m) ? Vector quantity r = Position vector (m) (AKA: Displacement) F = Force (N) ? Vector quantity θ = angle between r and F Calculating Torque using the Lever Arm Torque can also be calculated using the concept of a lever arm Lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line containing the force vector “Line of action” τ = F (r sin θ) * r sin θ = lever arm Mathematically: τ = F (r sin θ) is the same as τ = rF sin θ Torque Problem A basketball is being pushed by two players during a tip-off. One player exerts an upward force of 15 N at a perpendicular distance of 14 cm from the axis of rotation. The second player applies a downward force of 11 N at a perpendicular distance of 7 cm from the axis of rotation. Find the net torque acting on the ball about its center of mass. Answer Given: F1 = 15N r1 = 0.14m F2 = 11N r2 = 0.07m τnet = ? τ = F1r1 + F2r2 (** The factor sin Θ is not included because each distance is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line drawn along the direction of the force) Answer Continued τ = F1r1 + F2r2 * Use the standard conventio
