Physics, Torque (8 of 13) Static Equilibrium, Hanging Sign No. 2

Shows how to use static equilibrium to determine the tension in two cables supporting a hanging sign. The sum of the forces in the x-direction and the sum of the y-direction are set equal to zero.
Torque is a rotating force. It is a measure of how much force is acting on an object that causes the object to rotate. The object will rotate about an axis, which is called the pivot point. It is labeled with the letter P or O. The distance from the pivot point to the point where the force acts is called the moment arm or the lever arm. This distance is labeled with the letter r. This distance r is also a vector, and points from the axis of rotation to the point where the force acts. The force is labeled with the letter F.

Without wishing to be personal the deep rich cadence of the teachers voice makes this very interesting and easy to listen too over an extended time. That is often not the case at all. The detailed step by step expo is the clearest I have even seen.

i just learned this in 10 minutes unlike my teacher who cannot teach correctly, this is the best video out there!

Physics final tomorrow and had no idea what static equilibrium was until 30 minutes ago. 3 videos later and I feel like an expert.

So, I am a retired advanced life support paramedic. Haven’t done physics in 30 years and am now working on a biomechanics degree. These videos have been a life saver for me!!!!

My teacher went over this for 2 hours (its a block class) and he only made me more confused! This step by step process is exactly how a teacher should teach a class! Thank you so much for helping me understand this!

[Shackled]

Dude, you are the bomb. You make us UNDERSTAND what we are doing vs just doing the work.

[tumasangpatrick]

wow, actually this video tutorials help me solve a whole problem fluently, am glad and impress, more grace

[adiliraliyev]

Now I have this knowledge for life! Can't spend it, can't lose it, unless I go Kuku.

[GaryLiseo]

Thank you. My Intro to Engineering book only had an example with one wire/cable being perfectly horizontal so this video helped out a lot.

[Athna_Divne]

After watching this, it felt like Physics is the easiest subject on Earth. This is really helpful. Thank you so much!

[lucasying]

THANK YOU YOU CLUTCHED UP FOR MY QUIZ TOMORROW

[nikhilmurali]

thanks for teaching me in 10 minutes what my teacher couldn't in 54 minutes

[sepm]

i finally understood this tension breaking up components from watching your video.. was trying to figure it out for the past 2 days.. good thing i ran into this video of yours!! thanks a lot!

[TabitaMumba-ysxc]

Simple and straight forward, thank you very much sir this video really helped me

[afellepetersen]

Thank you this is a good refresher to prep for Statics.

[vinaydeshmukh]

much better than many videos on youtube. Especially the one listed on google.

[scifi_the_dev]

Thank you. You made understanding the concept a possibility with practice. Well explained and clear steps

[danielporter]

This is an excellent video that makes this so much more understandable.

[alejandrabarr]

You have no idea how much your helping everyone out there including me. Thanks so much for the video. Please keep upload :)

[gloriacarvajal]

Thank you so much sir. I love your videos. You are clear and work step by step
