Problems
Problem 1.1:
Calculate the net torque exerted by F1 = 30 N and F2 = 50 N in the figure
below. You may assume that both forces act on a single rigid body.
![]()
Two forces acting on a single rigid body
Problem 1.2:
Two cylinders of the same mass and shape, one hollow and one solid, are set on a
incline and allowed to roll down. Which cylinder will reach the bottom of the
incline first? Why?
[Solution]Problem 1.3:
A simple pendulum of mass m on a string of radius r is displaced from vertical
by an angle θ, as shown below. What is the torque provided by gravity at
that point?
[Solution]
A gravitational force acting on a simple pendulum
Problem 1.4:
See the last problem. What is the angular acceleration of the pendulum at that
point?
[Solution]Problem 1.5:
A revolving door is common in office buildings. What is the magnitude of the
torque exerted on a revolving door of mass 100 kg if two people push on opposite
sides of the door with a force of 50 N at a distance of 1 m from the axis of the
door, as shown below? Also, the moment of inertia of a revolving door is given
by I =
[Solution] . Find the resultant angular acceleration assuming no
resistance.
Two people pushing on a revolving door
