Answer 2

The total clockwise moment about a pivot is 5Nm and the total anti-clockwise moment is 10Nm.

In which direction will the object turn ?

What is torque ?

• Torque is the capability of a force to produce a change in rotational motion of a body.
• It is vector quantity means it has magnitude as well as direction.
• Total torque define the direction of rotation of a body. It quantifies how a body turns its rotational motion.

first torque = 5Nm ( clockwise direction)

2nd torque = 10 Nm (anticlockwise direction)

total torque = 5Nm (Clockwise) + 10Nm N(Anticlockwise)

= -5Nm (Anticlockwise) + 10 Nm (Anticlockwise)

= 5 Nm (Anticlockwise)

Therefore it is clear that object will turn Anticlockwise with 5 Nm torque.
