State the effect of force F in of the following diagram.

Advertisements
उत्तर १
Wheel turns about the axis of rotation i.e. about pivot on applying force.

उत्तर २
In the given diagram, the force F is applied tangentially to the wheel at its edge. The effect of this force is:
-
Rotational Motion: The force F causes the wheel to rotate about its pivot. This is due to the creation of a torque, which depends on the magnitude of the force and the distance from the pivot.
-
Translational Motion (if friction permits): The wheel may also move forward (translate) if there is sufficient friction between the wheel and the surface.
Thus, the force causes rotation and possibly translation of the wheel.

A half metre rod is pivoted at the centre with two weights of 20gf and 12gf suspended at a perpendicular distance of 6 cm and 10 cm from the pivot respectively as shown below.

1) Which of the two forces acting on the rigid rod causes clockwise moment?
2) Is the rod in equilibrium?
3) The direction of 20 kgf force is reversed. What is the magnitude of the resultant moment of the forces on the rod?
Less force is needed when applied at a farther distance from the pivoted point.
