momentum and torque

The easiest way to open a heavy door is by applying the force

• Near the hinges

• In the middle of the door

• At the edge of the door far from the hinges

• At the top of the door

What is the Unit for Torque

• Nm
• N
• W
• J

Torque is the product of a force exerted on an object times the lever arm.

• True 
• False

When an object is experiencing a net torque

• it is in dynamic equilibrium.
• it is in static equilibrium.
• it is rotating.
• it is translating.

A construction worker is worried about applying too much torque to a bolt using his wrench.  What could he do to reduce his torque on the bolt?

• Increase the length of the wrench
• Increase the force on wrench
• Reduce the length of the wrench
• Reduce the friction between the bolt and wrench
