उत्तर
Torque about a point = Total force × Perpendicular distance
Let the anticlockwise torque and clockwise acting torque be positive and negative, respectively.
Torque at O due to 5 N force is zero as it is passing through O.
Torque at O due to 15 N force,
\[\tau_1 = 15 \times 6 \times {10}^{- 2} \times \sin37^\circ\]
\[ = 15 \times 6 \times {10}^{- 2} \times \frac{3}{5}\]
\[ = 0 . 54 N - m .........\left(\text{anticlockwise} \right)\]
Torque at O due to 10 N force,
\[\tau_2 = 10 \times 4 \times {10}^{- 2} = 0 . 4 N - m ........\left(\text{clockwise} \right)\]
Torque at O due to 20 N force,
\[\tau_3 = 20 \times 4 \times {10}^{- 2} \times \sin30^\circ\]
\[ = 20 \times 4 \times {10}^{- 2} \times \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ = 0 . 4 N - m .........\left(\text{Anticlockwise} \right)\]
Resultant torque acting at O,
\[\tau = \left( 0 . 54 - 0 . 4 + 0 . 4 \right)\]
\[ = 0 . 54 N - m \left(\text{Anticlockwise} \right)\]

If several forces act on a particle, the total torque on the particle may be obtained by first finding the resultant force and then taking torque of this resultant. Prove this. Is this result valid for the forces acting on different particles of a body in such a way that their lines of action intersect at a common point?
When a body is weighed on an ordinary balance we demand that the arum should be horizontal if the weights on the two pans are equal. Suppose equal weights are put on the two pans, the arm is kept at an angle with the horizontal and released. Is the torque of the two weights about the middle point (point of support) zero? Is the total torque zero? If so, why does the arm rotate and finally become horizontal?
