A force F=9 N acting on a tooth is not in the direction of the tooth axis and runs at a distance L=1 mm from the axis. Find the torque on the tooth about point C

Respuesta :

Answer:

τ = 0.009 Nm

Explanation:

The torque applied on the tooth can be given by the following formula:

[tex]\tau = Fd[/tex]

where,

τ = Torque on the tooth= ?

F = Force acting on tooth = 9 N

d = distance between force and tooth axis = 1 mm = 0.001 m

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

[tex]\tau = (9\ N)(0.001\ m)[/tex]

τ = 0.009 Nm
