The masses in a Cavendish apparatus are m 1 = 10 kg and m 2 = 10
Question:
The masses in a Cavendish apparatus are m1 = 10 kg and m2 = 10 g, the separation of their centers is 6 cm, and the rod separating the two small masses is 20 cm long.
(a) What is the force of attraction between the large and small masses?
(b) What torque must be exerted by the suspension to balance these forces?

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.
