    Torque
AI Thread Summary
Double torque typically refers to a situation where torque is applied in two different directions or instances, while single torque involves a single application of force. The discussion highlights a lack of clarity on these terms, with participants unsure of their definitions. One user suggests that double torque might relate to a couple, indicating a need for further exploration. The conversation emphasizes the importance of context in understanding these concepts. Overall, the thread reflects a search for clarity on torque terminology in physics.

Ok...our homework was to find out what a double torque is and what single torque is...knowing how incapable i am of answering this question...i've come2 da h/wrk forum!

ok...so far I've got nothing...i did da whole search engine thang
i'm going to go2 mah textbkz n i'l come bak 2 post

thanx

I think a double torque may be referring to a couple.
 
I certainly haven't come across the phrase before.

How about you post the question you've been asked?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
