Worksheet: Torque To solve torque problems, diagrams must be drawn. Complete the diagram for each situation described below. Draw a bold dot for the pivot point. Draw and label each force vector. (Bars, boards, etc. are considered uniform unless stated otherwise.) Label each torque as "cw" or "ccw 6. a. A see saw weighs 500 N and is pivoted at the center. b. A railroad tie weighing 1200 N is lifted at the left end. c. A 3.0 m long board weighing 150 N is lifted at its ends by two people. A stack of bricks weighing 75 N is placed 1.0 m from the left end. To solve a problem, the pivot point is arbitrarily placed at the right end In #6c, give the length of the lever arm for each force from left to right. (HINT: Four forces should be drawn.)
