A body is in transitional equilibrium under the actions of coplanar forces. If the torque of these forces is zero about a point, is it necessary that it will also be zero about any other point? |

Answer» Answer ⇒ Yes, It is necessary, i.e., it is always necessary that the torque will be zero about any other point if the RESULTANT of the torque acting on the BODY is zero about the point. If the body will be in the Transnational Equilibrium then it will move with he constant VELOCITY thus zero acceleration at every point. By the Inertial and the EQUIVALENT Frame of the Reference ,i.e the Position of the OBSERVATIONS, it will be Zero. Note ⇒ Torque is the turning effects produced in the Body when the force is applied and the body covers some distance. Torque is the Vector Quantity and also an Vector Product or the Cross Product of two vectors. Hope it helps. |
