Answer:

Explanation:

Torque=force X distance from axis of rotation

Torque=20*.2 (r=d/2)

T=20NM

The torque about the centre of the wheel is 20 N*m

The torque about the center of the wheel can be calculated by multiplying the force applied (100N) by the radius of the wheel $(0.4m/2 = 0.2m)$

Torque = force x radius

Torque = 100N x 0.2m

Torque = 20 N*m

Torque, also known as moment of force, is a measure of the twisting or turning force applied to an object around an axis or pivot point. It is typically measured in units of Newton-meters (N*m) or pound-feet (lb-ft).

When a force is applied to an object at a distance from the axis of rotation, it generates a torque that tends to cause the object to rotate. The farther the force is applied from the axis of rotation, the greater the torque that is generated.

Torque is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of torque is perpendicular to the plane defined by the point of application of the force and the axis of rotation.
