Question

How much moment (or torque) is produced about point O by the wrench in the situation below?

Answer 1

Answer:

The net torque will be calculated by taking clockwise moment

as positive . When we use the sign convention, we get the net torque as 82.7 lbs because the two opposite ones become null.

Net torque =82.7 lb

Explanation: THANK YOU

Answer 2

Answer:

163 in-lb in clockwise

Explanation:

Moment at point o =Net (force * perpendicular distance)

                              = 20 sin(30)(1) - 20 cos(30)(10)

                              = 10-173

                              = -163

                              = 163 in-lb clockwise
