No. If a single torque is applied on the object, it would have an angular acceleration, and will increase it's rotation speed.


How would i find an unknown mass of an object balancing on a rod if i have a rod that is 20cm with a 5kg weight then 80cm with an unknown weight?

torque = force * lever length if its balanced, then clockwise torque = anticlockwise torque. if 5kg mass is 20 cm right of fulcrum, then clockwise torque= 5*20 =100 kg-cm therefore anticlockwise torque to balance = 100 kg-cm if 100 (kg-m) = x(kg) * 80(cm), then x = 100(kg-cm)/80(cm) then x = 1.25 kg
