1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A nonuniform bar 4 meters long has a weight of 70 newtons. The bar is on a fixed pivot at its center of mass which is 1 meter from the heavy end. If a 300 newton weight is placed 0.4 meters left of the center of mass and a 100 newton weight is placed 1.0 meters right of the center of mass, (a) What are the clockwise and counterclockwise torque values? (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the net torque? (c) where must a 200 newton weight be placed to establish rotational equilibrium? 2. Relevant equations Torque=Force*distance (If it's perpendicular, which it is) 3. The attempt at a solution I don't know weather the fact that the bar is 70 newtons matters at all. Assuming it doesn't, here's what I have: (a) Clockwise: 100 N. Because 1.0m*100N=100N Counterclockwise: 120 N. Because 0.4m*300N=120N (b) Magnitude: I really have no idea here. Direction: Counterclockwise... ? (c) Assuming everything else is correct, I would say it needs to be 0.1 meters right of the center of mass. That way both sides are 120N All that assumes that the weight of the bar doesn't matter. Am I even close?
