The steering wheel of a certain vehicle has a diameter of 34.6 cm, and it turns a shaft that is 8.9 cm in diameter. If a 94.8 N force is needed to turn the steering wheel, what torque is exerted on the wheel

Respuesta :

Answer: 164Nm

Explanation: the torque exerted on the wheel is given by the expression

Torque=force*radius(of steering wheel )

Given force =94.8N

Diameter of wheel=34.6cm

Radius =34.6/2 =17.3cm

to metre 17.3/10= 1.73m

Torque =94.8*1.73

=164Nm
