Torque and tension are two important concepts in physics that refer to the force applied to an object and its resulting movement or change in shape.
Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the point of rotation to the point where the force is applied. Tension is the force exerted by a rope, string, or cable on an object. To calculate tension, you need to know the magnitude of the force and the angle at which it is applied.
FT1 and FT2 refer to the forces acting on the 120-N board in the problem. FT1 is the force applied at the left end of the board, and FT2 is the force applied at the right end. θ is the angle at which these forces are applied, and it affects the overall torque and tension on the board.
To find FT1, you can use the equation FT1 = (120 N)(cos θ). To find FT2, you can use the equation FT2 = (120 N)(sin θ). You can then use the equation θ = tan-1(FT2/FT1) to find the angle at which the forces are applied.
Torque and tension are used in a variety of real-world applications, such as building bridges and structures, operating machinery and vehicles, and even in sports equipment like tennis rackets and golf clubs. Understanding these concepts is essential for engineers, architects, and anyone who works with forces and movement.
