A uniform horizontal lever of length 4.4 m is pivoted at its midpoint. The following forces are acting on the lever: a 2 N upward force (force with upward vertical component) that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal-left acting at the right end of the lever, a 7 N vertically downward force acting at the left end of the lever, and a .73 N vertically downward force acting at a point on the lever 0.6 m away from the right end. Calculate the net torque acting on the lever.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To calculate the net torque acting on the lever we need to consider the torque produced by each forc... View the full answer
