Your friend is constructing a balancing display for an art project. She has one rock on the left (ms=2.25 kgms=2.25 kg) and three on the right (total mass mp=10.1 kgmp=10.1 kg). The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is rp=0.360 m. rp=0.360 m. Answer the two questions below, using three significant digits. Part A: What is the value of the torque (? pτp) produced by the pile of rocks? (Enter a positive value.)

    Torque = 35.60 N. m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.

    Explanation:

    Given details:

    The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg

    The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg

    The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m

    (a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp

    Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328

    Torque = 35.60 N. m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).
