Torque Worksheet

This physics worksheet contains 6 problems involving calculating torque. Problem 1 has students calculate torque produced by a 75 Newton force applied at the end of wrenches of different lengths. Problem 2 involves calculating the distance a 500 Newton child should sit from a fulcrum to balance a see-saw. Problem 3 asks students to calculate the unknown weight of a block that balances a system with other blocks and weights given. The last three problems involve calculating the mass of various objects based on their distances from fulcrums and applied forces or torques.

Torque Worksheet

1. a. Calculate the torque produced by a 75-N perpendicular force at the end of a 0.2-m long
wrench.

b. Calculate the torque produced by the same 75-N force when a pipe extends the
length of the wrench to 0.5 m.

2. Two children are sitting on a see-saw, as


shown. Calculate the distance the 500-N
child should sit from the fulcrum (pivot)
to balance the see-saw.

3. Suppose that a meterstick is


supported at the center, and a 20-N
block is hung at the 80-cm mark.
Another block of unknown weight
just balances the system when it is
hung at the 10-cm mark. What is
the weight of the second block?

4. What is the mass of the rock shown in
the figure?

5. What is the mass of the meterstick shown


in the figure (Hint: 25% of the
meterstick’s mass is to the left of the
fulcrum and 75% is to the right)?

6. If the torque required to loosen a nut on the wheel of a car has a magnitude of 40.0 N-m,
what minimum force must be exerted by a mechanic at the end of a 0.30-m wrench to loosen
the nut?
