Answer:
2N
Explanation:
Given that a student pulls down with a force of 40 N on a rope that winds around a pulley of radius 5 cm. find the torque?
Solution
Using the formula
Torque = Force × radius
I.e
Torque = F r
Where
F = 40N
r = 5 cm = 5/100 = 0.05m
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
Torque = 40 × 0.05
Torque = 2 N
Therefore, the torque on this scenario is 2 N
