Steering 49363

The steering wheel has a diameter of 40 cm. It is acted upon by a pair of forces with a torque of 27 Newton-meters. How much force does it exert on each side of the steering wheel?

Correct answer:

F1 =  67.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

D=40 cm m=40:100  m=0.4 m M=27 Nm  r=D/2=0.4/2=51=0.2 m  M = r F  F=M/r=27/0.2=135 N  F = F1+F2  F1=F2  F1=F/2=135/2=67.5 N
