Torque (moment of a force)

Which of these three forces is most likely

Torque (moment of a force) Which of these three forces is most
to loosen the tight bolt?
Why?

Torque (moment of a force)

The turning effect of a force F about

Torque (moment of a force) The turning effect of a force F
a given axis is called its torque. A torque (also called ‘moment’ of a force) is a ‘turning force’. It gives a measure of how much ‘turning effect’ a force has about a given axis.

Torque = force x perpendicular distance from line of action of force to the pivot

A boy pulls on a door handle.
A) Calculate

Example 1. ‘Opening doors’ A boy pulls on a door handle. A)
the torque about the hinge.
B) If he pulls at an angle as shown, what is the new torque?

Principle of moments

The principle of moments states that for a body to

Principle of moments The principle of moments states that for a body
be in equilibrium:
The sum of the external torques on a rigid object must be equal to zero

F1d1 = F2d2 +F3d3

Example 2. Family on seesaw

A young girl wants to sit still with

Example 2. Family on seesaw A young girl wants to sit still
her mother and father on a seesaw. Her father, 70 kg, sits only on one side 2.5 m from the pivot. On the other side, her mother, 50 kg, sits 3 m from the pivot. The girl sits on the same side as her mother. At what distance should the girl, who weighs 20 kg, sit from her mother?

Example 3. Equating moments

A hinged trap-door of mass 15 kg and length

Example 3. Equating moments A hinged trap-door of mass 15 kg and
1.0 m is to be opened by applying a force F at an angle of 45º.
Find F.
