    Magnitude Torque
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the torque of a system with two masses attached to a rod, which is rotating at an angle θ from the vertical. The key point raised is the definition of the vector r, which is the distance from the pivot point to the mass. The thread was closed for moderation, emphasizing that schoolwork-related questions should be posted in designated Homework Help forums. Additionally, users are reminded to attach images directly rather than using temporary links. The conversation highlights the importance of proper forum etiquette and guidelines for posting academic questions.

TL;DR Summary

This is the question ,now there are two ways to approach this .

1)Using the formula τ=r×F .
2)Finding L and differentiating it.

Now I approached the problem with the first method .

Since the mass is moving along a circle of radius rsinθ,the centripetal force is F=mrsinθω² ....(1)

Here r is the vector from the centre of rod (which is stationery ) to the mass .

Angle between r and F is 90°+θ .

Therefore Torque τ is rFsin(90+

What are you considering r to be?

Thread will remain closed here. @Harikesh_33 -- Please check your PMs. Schoolwork-type questions (even if for self-study) must be posted in the Homework Help forums. Also, please do not just transitory imgur links to the images -- those can disappear which makes your thread make no sense. Please use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window instead. Thank you.
 

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
