......... (Torque/Pressure) is the tendency of force to produce rotation.

Force and torque

.................. (Pressure/Torque) is equal to the product of the force applied and the perpendicular distance between the pivot and the point of application of the force.

Force and pressure

Draw a neat labelled diagram to show the direction of two forces acting on a body to produce rotation in it. Also mark the point O about which the rotation takes place.

If the moment of force is assigned a negative sign then will the turning tendency of the force be clockwise or anti-clockwise ?

Electromagnetic brakes work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. If a metallic disc or a coil is rotating in a uniform magnetic field, it will experience a torque due to induced currents set up in the disc. According to Lenz's law, induced current is in a direction so as to oppose the rotation. Hence a retarding torque is produced. The rotating wheel of a vehicle is connected to a coil placed in a uniform emf is used to charge a battery. Thus kinetic enery of wheel is stored as chemical energy. The drawback of electromagnetic brake is that induced current or retarding torque is directly proportional to speed of rotation. The speed, therefore, decays exponentially and vehicle will take a long time to stop. Thus, mechanical brakes are used simultaneously. The advantage of electromagnetic brakes is that

A particle is at a distance r from the axis of rotation. A given torque tau produces some angular acceleration in it. If the mass of the particle is doubled and its distance from the axis is halved, the value of torque to produce the same angular acceleration is -
