quizlet Two forces are applied to a doorknob, perpendicular to the door. The first force is twice as large as the second force. The ratio of the torque of the first to the torque of the second is

Respuesta :

The torque applied by the second force at the knob of the door will be twice.

What is Torque ?

Torque is the momentum of force. It is also known as the tendency of the force to rotate a body. It is the product of the force and the distance between the force and the point about which the torque will be calculated.

  • As we want to know which force exerts the greater torque, therefore, let the length of the gate will be d. Also, the force that if applied to the door is F. Therefore,
  • Torque applied by the first force at the midpoint of the door

T₁ = F x d/2

  • Torque applied by the second force at the knob of the door

T₂ = Fx d

T₁ / T₂= F x d / F x d x 2

T₂ = 2T₁

Hence, the torque applied by the second force at the knob of the door will be twice.
