Question

if the magnitude of either of the forces forming couple is 32N and perpendicular distance between their lines of action is 2 m find the magnitude of torque​

Answer 1

The magnitude of Torque is 64 N /m

Explanation:

Torque is turning effect of force. Torque may be defined as the product of the one of the forces and the perpendicular distance between two forces. Torque is the vector product of Force and Displacement.

its SI unit is N-m. its dimension is [ ML²T⁻²]

Given         F = 32 N

                S  = 2m

Torque = Force x displacement

                32 x 2

             =  64 N/m

the magnitude of Torque is 64 N/m
