Physics 15 Torque Fundamentals (7 of 13) How to Calculate a Torque (Basic Example 1)

In this video I will calculate the torque of a rod when a force=100N is applied at an angle=30 degrees a distance r=5m.

Next video can be seen at:

For those confused on why frsin0 isnt working, it is because Professor Biezen is setting the angle with respect to the y-axis and not the object itself. So if you want to use frsin0, you should be using 60 degrees as your theta and it will provide you the correct torque. Thank you for the lectures Professor Biezen, they have been a great help.

when you find the direction of torque, did you use right hands rule?

Good day sir! I just want to know how do you plug in the value in the calculator, because whenever I do, it has a different answer than yours.

The exam is over dude... see ya for Physics 2 next year (I be sure to preview and tune in to refresh whenever I need it!!!).

Hello! How do I know whether to use sine or cosine? My professor uses sine in every case.

In your previous lecture u said that it is Nm....?

Oh ok i paused this video and u just answer my quest at 2:00 hahahah

why in the z direction what tells you that and what does the negative tell you.

Hello sir i need tipper hydraulic cylinder load calculation

If it is in 2 dimensions would it be T = -433 z hat or T = -433 y hat?

I am still having issues with direction. why is it clockwise?
