A fulcrum is placed at the 55 cm position of a 100 cm (1 meter) stick with a mass of 18 kg. a 10 kg mass is placed at 70 cm position. where must a 5 kg mass be placed so that the net torque is zero? (assume the mass of the meter stick is uniformly distributed)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Use the rotational equilibrium of stick about the fulcrum to find the position of the 5 kg mass on the stick as shown below.

A meter stick on a horizontal frictionless table top is pivoted at the 80-cm mark. A force F1 = 5 N is applied perpendicularly to the end of the stick at 0 cm, as shown. A second force F2 (not shown) is applied at the 100-cm end of the stick. The stick does not rotate. a) What is the torque (magnitude and sign) about the pivot from F1? b) Explain why the torque from the pivot about itself is zero....
