A square metal plate with length L= 0.14 m on each side is pivoted about an axis through the center point O, perpendicular to the plate. Calculate the net torque about this axis due to the three forces shown that act at the corners, with magnitudes F1 =18 N, F2 = 28 N, and F3 = 12 N. Also specify the direction.
1 answer
wondering in what directions the forces are acting....it matters.
