Question

An object is subject to a 84 Nm torque about a point when a
21 N of force is applied to a second point along the object's
length. How far apart are the two points

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 4[m]

Explanation:

Torque in physics is defined as the product of force by distance. This way you can use the following equation to calculate the torque.

$T=F*d$

where:

T = torque [N*m]

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

Now replacing in the equation above.

$84=21*d\\\\d= 4[m]$
