Question:
A tree has two large branches that grow out horizontally from the trunk in opposite directions. One branch has length L and diameter d, whereas the other has length L/2. If the magnitude of the torque due to gravity is the same on the two branches, what is the diameter of the shorter branch?
Step by Step Answer:
The torque on the branch is the weight of the branch times the distance ...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.
