(10 x 3) = (28 x 2) (Fb x ??)
I assume Fb is the weight of the beam. Its torque will act in the middle of the beam.
Basic_Physics said:The distance to the middle is 0.5 not 1.5

The answer says its 1.1m...bsbs said:total mass 1.5kg
center of mass at 1.4m
imagine the broom is a 2.8m rod instead.
if you add 0.4kg to one side, what is the distance that you need to move from the center, in order to balance the rod.
a logical answer will be <1.4m

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance from the axis.
Force is a measure of the push or pull on an object, while torque is a measure of the force that causes an object to rotate about an axis.
The SI unit for torque is Newton-meters (N·m). Other common units include foot-pounds (ft·lb) and inch-pounds (in·lb).
Yes, torque can be negative if the force applied to an object causes it to rotate in the opposite direction of a positive torque. This is known as a counterclockwise rotation.
To calculate torque, you need to know the force applied to the object and the distance from the axis at which the force is applied. The formula for torque is: torque = force x distance.
