15 . If the torque would cause a counter clockwise rotation , we will call it positive . If the torque would cause a clockwise rotation , we will call it negative . Assign the correct sign to the two torques. Torque on left : positive (+) or negative (-) Torque on right : positive (+) or negative (-) 16 . Now rewrite the torque values with the correct sign. Torque on left : t, = N m Torque on right : to = N m
