A uniform rod is pivoted at its center. It is acted on by two forces in the plane. Each force has the same size, equal to 10N (newtons). In which case is there a turning effect?

Respuesta :

Their isn’t an effect because they are both equal

The turning effect can be produced by increasing the pivot distance on either side of rod.

Given data:

The magnitude of each force is, F = 10 N.

The concept turning effect is based on the torque. The torque can be defined as the product of linear force and radial distance from the center of pivot to the application of point of linear force.

Then the mathematical expression for the torque is given as,

[tex]\tau = F \times r[/tex]

Here,

r is the distance from the center of pivot.

Since, the rod is applied with  same magnitude of force on its two sides, that is of 10 N. Which means the turning effect entirely is dependent on the distance from center of pivot. So, increasing the distance of pivot towards right, the torque increases and the rod will be turned towards right. And same can be done with the left side also.

Thus, we can conclude that the turning effect can be produced by increasing the pivot distance on either side of rod.
