AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on ranking the torque magnitudes about a pivot point based on given forces and angles. Participants are trying to determine the correct order of torques generated by four forces: a (2F up), b (F down), c (F up), and d (2F down at 60 degrees). There is confusion regarding the pivot point's location and whether distances from the pivot to the forces are provided. The initial attempt suggests a ranking of b < a = c = d, but further clarification on the pivot and distances is needed for an accurate solution. Understanding the pivot point and distances is crucial for correctly ranking the torques.

Homework Statement


Rank the magnitude of the torques in the picture below about the marked pivot point from least to greatest
(using <, >, =). The force magnitudes are in terms of F.

a=2F and pointed up b=F and pointed down c=F pointed up and d=2F pointed down to the left with 60 degrees from from the vertical 30 degrees from the line

_______a________c
b d

The Attempt at a Solution


a believe the answer is b<a=c=d or is d, a&c

Where exactly is the pivot point? And do you have distances between the forces?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
