If a force of 25 pounds is applied perpendicular to the centerline of a shaft,two feet from its centerline,how much torque is produced?

A) 12.5 pound feet
B) 25 pound feet
C) 50 pound feet
D) 100 pound feet

Question

Gomolemo Mosadi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Torque is calculated as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot point (torque = force x distance). Here, torque = 25 pounds x 2 feet = 50 pound-feet.
