Hello I am confused calculating torque

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque about the red hinge point for a 50 kg weight attached to a link, the distances from the hinge point to the weight must be defined as black-x, red-y, and square-z. The angle of the link also plays a crucial role in determining the torque. Users are advised to repost their question in the appropriate homework forum, ensuring they follow the provided template and demonstrate their initial efforts. It's important to clearly outline the specific areas of confusion to receive effective assistance. Providing a detailed approach will enhance the chances of getting helpful responses.

PLz find the attached image. Each link weight is given.

the 50 kg weight with link rotates about the red hinge point.

angle is as shown.

please help me out its urgent. need to calculate the torque about the red hinge point.

You can assume link distances as black-x red-y and square: z x z

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
