Multiple Choice
Two equal magnitude forces are in opposite directions and their lines of action are separated by distance d.These two forces are applied to a solid disk,which is mounted on a frictionless axle.If d is half the radius r of the disk,which of the following positions for the forces would give the most torque.
A) One force on a line touching the circumference of the disk,the other on a line halfway to the center.
B) One force on a line at a distance d from the center and the other on a line through the center of the disk.
C) One force on a line at a distance d/2 from the center of the disk,and the other on a line at a distance d/2 on the opposite side of the center of the disk.
D) Since all the above orientations give the same torque,choose this answer.
