Or, if you apply the same force, but apply it at an angle vs. perpendicular!

10. Can the same torque be exerted from different forces?

If you apply different forces to different lever arms, you can get the same torque!

The rope doesn’t change the lever arm!  You need a stronger person (more force), or a bigger wrench (bigger lever arm)! SEE PAGE 152 YELLOW BOX

A pair of torques can balance each other. Balance is achieved if the torque that tends to produce clockwise rotation by the boy equals the torque that tends to produce counterclockwise rotation by the girl.

11.2 Balanced Torques

Torque Formulas • Weight alone does not produce rotation—torque does. • When balanced torques act on an object, there is no change in 

rotation.  • 2 kids can balance a see-saw even when their weights are not

equal! – A pair of torques can balance each other. – Balance is achieved if the torque that tends to produce clockwise

rotation (by the boy) equals the torque that tends to produce counterclockwise rotation (by the girl.)

Torque counterclockwise = Torque clockwise

(Force x Lever Arm) counterclockwise = (Force x Lever Arm ) clockwise

Calculations: 1. Calculate the girl’s torque:

a) What is the girl’s weight? (this is the Perpendicular Force)

b) What is the girl’s DISTANCE from the FULCRUM/TURNING POINT? (This is the Lever Arm)

c) Calculate the girl’s torque: *Show all work; the unit for torque is the Newton Meter ( Nm)

2.  Calculate the boy’s torque:a) What is the boy’s weight?

(this is the Perpendicular Force)

b) What is the boy’s DISTANCE from the FULCRUM/TURNING POINT? (This is the Lever Arm)

c) Calculate the boy’s torque: *Show all work; the unit for torque is the Newton Meter ( Nm)

200 N

3 m

F x LA = τ200 N x 3m = 600 Nm

400 N

1.5 m

F x LA = τ400 N x 1.5m = 600 Nm

do the math!The block of unknown weight tends to rotate the system of blocks and stick counterclockwise, and the 20-N block tends to rotate the system clockwise. The system is in balance when the two torques are equal:

counterclockwise torque = clockwise torque

11.2 Balanced Torques

do the math!What is the weight of the block hung at the 10-cm mark?

CAREFUL with your LEVER ARMS!!! 

11.2 Balanced Torques

11.2 Balanced Torques

First, let’s check…which object has a larger lever arm?So…which force has to be larger?

F x LA = τ = F x LA

So we know our ‘mystery weight’ is less than 20 N

F x LA = τ = F x LA

F x 40 cm = τ = 20 N x 30 cm

F x 40 cm = 600 N cm

Divide both sides by 40 cm ….

Force = 15 N

Webquest!• Follow all directions• Check in when you need clarification or assistance• EVERY STUDENT  WILL COMPLETE A WEBQUEST to

KEEP (the handout you just received)– Must be finished TODAY– Anything you do not finish will be HW – You need to finish #1-9…#10 is a challenge

• (trial & error – try it But if you struggle, don’t stress)

• Not collecting this…because EVERY STUDENT will then use the solutions from the Web Quest to complete an INDIVIDUAL GRADED POST LAB at the start of next class! (open notes)

• Stopping with 2 minutes left for a clicker exit

The broom balances at its CG.  If you cut the broom at its CG and weighed each side, which side would weigh more?
