Question
torque acting clockwise is taken as
Solution
Torque acting clockwise is typically taken as negative. This is based on the right-hand rule in physics, where if the fingers of your right hand curl in the direction of the rotation (in this case, clockwise), your thumb points in the negative direction. This is a convention used to determine the direction of vectors in 3D space.

How does this increase the torque? Group of answer choicesIt increases the lever arm.It increases the force you can apply.It changes the angle you can apply the force relative to the lever arm.
A 3.0-m rod is pivoted about its left end. A force of 20 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance of1.2 m from the pivot causing a ccw torque, and a force of 4.8 N is applied at the end of the rod 3.0 m from the pivot. The 4.8-N force is at an angle of 30o to the rod and causes a cw torque. What is the net torque about the pivot? (Take ccw as positive.)Select one:a.-16.8 N·mb.31.2 N·mc.-31.2 N·md.16.8 N·me.9.6 N·m
