$A$ door $1.2 \,m$ wide requires a force of $1 \,N$ to be applied perpendicularly at the free end to open or close it. The perpendicular force required at a point $0.2 \,m$ distant from the hinges for opening or closing the door is: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $2.4$
  • B
    $3.6$
  • C
    $6.0$
  • D
    $1.2$

$A$ rod of length $l$ is acted upon by a couple as shown in the figure. The moment of the couple is $\tau \text{ Nm}$. If the force at each end of the rod is $F$,then the magnitude of each force is (given $\sin 30^{\circ} = \cos 60^{\circ} = 0.5$):

If $\vec{F} = (4\hat{i} - 10\hat{j})$ and $\vec{r} = (5\hat{i} - 3\hat{j})$,then calculate the torque $\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$. (in $\hat{k}$)

Show that the moment of a couple does not depend on the point about which you take the moments.

Which type of motion exists due to the moment of force (couple)?

Which forces are needed for the rotational motion about a fixed axis?
