Torque IntroductionMaterials: Shower Track

Mass Hanger/Mass

Step 1: Hold track outward, get a feel for the effort it takes to hold it up

Step 2: Hang the 1000g mass next to your hands

Step 3: Slide mass ~10cm every 5 seconds

Step 4: See how far out you can support the mass. If you reach then end, time how long you can hold it!

Torque Introduction• Torque is analogous to a force.

Force TorqueLinear Acceleration Angular Acceleration

Torque

Torque Introduction

• The “distance” of the force also matters.

•Lever Arm: The distance between the pivot point and the force.

Torque Introduction

• The “angle” of the force also matters.

Torque Introduction

• The “angle” of the force also matters.• Use the sin component of the force

•Measure the angle from the BOARD to the FORCE

Torque Introduction

torque = distance from axis of rotation x force x sin (angle between r and F)

Units for torque: Nm (Newton-meters)

Equilibrium – Up to the board

•Net Force = Zero No acceleration

•Net Torque = Zero No rotation

• Clockwise = (+) Counterclockwise = (-)

•Partner up.

•Google “Phet Balancing Act”

•Run simulation

•Step 1: 5 minute “mess around”…write down 3 things that you notice

•Step 2: Complete lab. Graded for correctness!

A meter stick is pivoted at the 0.50 m line. A 3.0 kg object is hung from the 0.40 m line. Where should a 6.0 kg object be hung to achieve equilibrium?

Exit 2 Ticket

To weigh a fish a person hangs a tackle box of mass 6 kilograms and a cooler of mass 10 kilograms from the ends of a uniform rigid pole that is suspended by a rope attached to its center. The system balances when the fish hangs at a point 1/4 of the rod’s length from the tackle box. What is the mass of the fish?

6kg 10kg
