Questions and Answers

What is the formula for torque on a lever arm?

  • $\tau = \frac{F}{r}\sin\theta$
  • $\tau = Fr\sin\theta$ (correct)
  • $\tau = F\sin\theta$
  • $\tau = Fr\cos\theta$
  • What components are needed to calculate torque?

  • Lever arm, point of rotation, and angle of rotation
  • Lever arm, force, and point of rotation (correct)
  • Force, point of rotation, and angle of rotation
  • Lever arm, force, and angle of rotation
  • What is the role of the lever arm in calculating torque?

  • It determines the angle of the force
  • It has no impact on the torque calculation
  • It provides the distance from the force to the point of rotation (correct)
  • It directly influences the magnitude of the force
  • What happens to the torque if the angle of the force from the lever arm increases?
