Q6 of 149 Page 192

The torque of the weight of anybody about any vertical axis is zero. Is it always correct?

No. To justify this let us see two cases.

Case1: Torque about a point on the vertical axis.




Here




Case2: Torque about an axis at some distance from the path of motion.

A ball is whirled in a circle by attaching it to a fixed point with a string. Is there an angular rotation of the ball about its center? If yes, is this angular velocity equal to the angular velocity of the ball about the fixed point?

5

The moon rotates about the earth in such a way that only one hemisphere of the moon faces the earth (figure 10-Q1). Can we ever see the “other face” of the moon from the earth? Can a person on the moon ever see all the faces of the earth?

The torque of a force about a point is defined as Suppose and are all nonzero. Is always true? Is it ever true?

8

A heavy particle of mass m falls freely near the earth’s surface. What is the torque acting on this particle about a point 50 cm east to the line of motion? Does this torque produce any angular acceleration in the particle?
