Magnitude of the Torque generated at Pivot Point.

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque generated about the pivot point, the formula used is torque = r * F * sin(theta). In this scenario, the force applied is 10 N, the length of the torque wrench (radius) is 0.63 m, and the angle is 45 degrees. The key factors in determining the torque are the moment arm and the force applied perpendicular to it. The user expresses uncertainty about how to start the calculation but identifies the necessary variables for the equation. Understanding these components is essential for solving the torque problem effectively.

rFsintheta=Torque; what is r, what is theta, and what is F??
 
Force is 10 N, Theta must be 45 degrees, and the radius must be 0.63 m I think?
 
Thank you, that link helped.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
