- A uniform rod of mass 250 g having length 100 cm is balanced on a sharp edge at the 40 cm mark. A mass of 400 g is suspended at the 10 cm mark. To maintain the balance of the rod, the mass to be suspended at the 90 cm mark is:
- An electric dipole of dipole moment \( 1.0 \times 10^{-12} \ \text{Cm} \) lies along the x-axis. An electric field of magnitude \( 2.0 \times 10^4 \ \text{NC}^{-1} \) is switched on at an instant in the region. The unit vector along the electric field is \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2} \hat{j} \). The magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole at that instant is:
- A bar magnet is initially at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The magnet is rotated till the torque acting on it becomes one-half of its initial value. The angle through which the bar magnet is rotated is:
- The coordinates of a particle with respect to origin in a given reference frame is \( (1, 1, 1) \) meters. If a force of \( \mathbf{F} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) acts on the particle, then the magnitude of torque (with respect to origin) in the z-direction is:

Concepts Used:
Torque
Torque is a moment of force. Torque is measured as a force that causeque is also defined as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. Torque is chs an object to rotate about an axis and is responsible for the angular acceleration. Characterized with “T”.
How is Torque Calculated?
Torque is calculated as the magnitude of the torque vector T for a torque produced by a given force F
T = F. Sin (θ)
Where,
r - length of the moment arm,
θ - the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.
