Starter
A car is moving at a steady velocity of 20 ms-1. The mass of the car and its passengers is 1200 kg.1. If the thrust force is 4000 N, find the
friction force.
2. Draw a free body diagram with labels AND sizes of all forces
3. What would happen to the car’s motion if the thrust force was suddenly removed?

What is Torque?• Turning effect about a pivot
• Force that tries to ‘rotate’ an object
• ‘Spinning force’
• τ = torque (a.k.a. moment)• F = force• d = distance from the pivot• Torque is measured in ______• Clockwise or Anticlockwise
Question A force of 10 N which acts at 8 cm from the pivot is needed to lift the cap off a bottle of soft drink as shown below.Find the size and the direction of the torque being applied.
a) Calculate the anticlockwise torque
b) Calculate the clockwise torque
c) Which is greater? Anticlockwise torque or clockwise torque?

Example #3
Aaron (70 kg) Bob (50 kg)
Aaron is 1.5 m away from the pivot whereas Bob is 2 m away from the pivot. What will happen to the see saw?
Where do you think Bob will have to be to balance the see saw?
The mass of the rock is 100 kg and it is sitting on one end of the stick, 50 cm away from the pivot as shown in the diagram.
If the man exerts a force of 200 N downwards to the other end of the stick which is 3 m away from the pivot, would he be able to lift the rock?
Centre of Mass• The weight of an object acts down
through the object’s centre of mass.
• This is the point at which, if an object is suspended or pivoted, the object will balance.
• Watch out for any objects of “negligible mass”
