Questions and Answers

What does the lever arm represent in the equation L = r sin θ?

  • The angle between the force and the radius of rotation
  • Distance from the axis of rotation to where the force is exerted (correct)
  • The net torque produced
  • Magnitude of the force applied

    • How is torque calculated?

  • Torque = Force ÷ Distance
  • Torque = Force ÷ Lever Arm
  • Torque = Force × Lever Arm (correct)
  • Torque = Force × Distance

    • In the context of net torque, what does T1Fg1 - T2Fg2 = 0 represent?

  • The net force applied
  • A way to increase torque
  • The moment of inertia
  • An equilibrium condition (correct)
