Homework Statement
Im having exam about Torque on monday and I am trying to solve problems about it I stumbled with this problem, I can't solve it. I think I am missing a fundamental concept about torque because of the fact that I don't understand how this problem was solved.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The problem is solved, I just need someone to tell me why when doing the sum of torques a 2000 cos 65 was used . I believe the torque should be the perpendicular component of the force to the rod or for the uniform boom. I wrote instead 2000 sin of 25 . any help please?
