A tree has a large branch that grows horizontally out from the trunk. If the branch doubles
Question:
A tree has a large branch that grows horizontally out from the trunk. If the branch doubles in length and doubles in diameter, by what factor does the torque on the branch due to gravity increase?
Step by Step Answer:
The torque on the branch is determined by the weight of the branch and the distance from the rotatio...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
