2) The unit of torque is N.M
Choose the right answer
(1) The motion of the center of mass (CM) is in the form of
(2) The center of mass of two masses connected with each other is
closer to ……… object
(a) the lighter (b) the heavier (c) lies midway
(a) greater than one (b) less than one (c) either larger or
smaller than one
(8) An example of the first class lever is
(a) is greater than (b) is less than one (c) either larger or
one smaller than one
(12) The mechanical advantage of the first class lever ...
(a) is greater than (b) is less than one (c) either larger or
one smaller than one
(13) If ϴis the angle between the force direction and the radius of
rotation L then the torque is given by
(a) F. L . cos ϴ (b) F . L. sinϴ (c) f. L2 sin ϴ
(15) The ... is the study of the forces acting on an object at rest
.
L=5M / D=1.5M / M=90 K.G / G= 9.8 /∑τ=ZERO
∑τ=(F1×0)+(F2×D)-(MG×L)=0
F1=MG-F2 =(90×9.8)-(2940)=-2058N
(b) If the net torque obtained in part (a) is nonzero, in which direction
will the forearm and hand rotate?
(c) Would the torque exerted on the forearm by the biceps increase or
decrease if the biceps were attached farther from the elbow joint?

2.50 m apart, as indicated in the figure. If the left scale reads 290 N, and
the right scale reads 122 N, find
(a) The student’s mass and
(b) The distance from the student’s head to her center of mass.
