Torques please explain it a little more.

In summary, the given equation can be simplified by factoring out L and adding the last two terms, resulting in the equation T sin30.0° − (3w/ 2)cos30.0° = 0. This can be solved for T by dividing both sides by sin30.0° and multiplying by 2/3. The L terms are eliminated because they can be factored out, leaving only the w terms. This is a simple algebraic manipulation.

can you please explain why this

(TLsin30.0° − w((L/ 2)cos30.0°) − w(Lcos30.0°) = 0)



becomes this

T sin30.0° − (3w/ 2)cos30.0° = 0

i though i can do all the transpose and other stuff. but i can't figure that one.

i want to get the T.
please help me.

I don't know what this about, but it seems simpel algebra: All terms are divisible
by L so you can factor it out, ant then you add the last two terms.

willem2 thanks for your response.
that is one of the example in my book.

can you please explain it a little bit more. maybe a step by step?
please.

how come that all the L are gone and the W are only 2 then it becomes 3. i will appreciate it very much.
 

FAQ: Torques please explain it a little more.

What is a torque?

A torque is a force that causes an object to rotate around an axis or pivot point.

How is torque different from force?

While both torque and force involve the application of a push or pull, torque specifically refers to the rotational effect of that force.

What factors affect the magnitude of a torque?

The magnitude of a torque is affected by the size of the force, the distance from the pivot point, and the angle at which the force is applied.

What is the unit of measurement for torque?

Torque is typically measured in units of newton-meters (N·m) or foot-pounds (ft·lb).

How is torque used in everyday life?

Torque is used in a variety of everyday objects, such as bicycles, door knobs, and wrenches. It is also important in many industrial and engineering applications, such as designing machines and calculating the stability of structures.
