Looks good to me.cdornz said:
The lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the pivot point to the line of action of the force. In this case, the line of action of the force passes through p, so the lever arm and thus the torque is zero. Force is exerted, of course, but no torque.cdornz said:
To calculate torque for F1, you need to multiply the force (F) applied by the distance (d) from the pivot point. The formula for torque is T = F x d.
The unit of measurement for torque is Newton-meters (Nm). This means that 1 Nm is equal to the amount of force required to rotate an object around a pivot point at a distance of 1 meter.
Torque is important in F1 racing because it determines the rotational force of the car's engine and its ability to accelerate and maintain speed on the track. It also plays a role in the car's handling and stability on corners.
Torque and horsepower are related but different measurements. Torque measures the rotational force of an object, while horsepower measures the rate at which work is done. In F1 racing, torque is more important for acceleration and handling, while horsepower is more important for top speed.
Yes, you can calculate torque for multiple forces by adding up the individual torques for each force. This is known as the principle of superposition, where the total torque is equal to the sum of all the individual torques.
