When any lever is balanced the clockwise torque must what?

When a lever is balanced, the clockwise torque must equal the counterclockwise torque. This means that the product of the force applied and the distance from the pivot point must be the same on both sides of the lever.


Why is anti-clockwise torque positive?

Anti-clockwise torque is considered positive because it causes an object to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction. In physics, the convention is to assign a positive value to any torque that tends to cause a counterclockwise rotation and a negative value to any torque that tends to cause a clockwise rotation. This convention allows for consistency in calculating and analyzing rotational motion.


Why clock wise torque is negative?

Clockwise torque is negative because it causes an object to rotate in the opposite direction as the conventionally defined positive direction. When a torque is applied clockwise, it produces a rotational motion that is deemed negative in terms of the reference frame used to define positive rotation.


Can a body be in equilibrium if it is revolving clockwise under the action of single torque?

No, a body cannot be in equilibrium while revolving clockwise under the action of a single torque. In order to be in equilibrium, the net torque acting on the body must be zero, which is not the case when a single torque is causing the body to rotate.


What is clockwise and anticlockwise torque?

Clockwise, top rotating to the right, and counterclockwise, top rotating to the left is only a perspective based on the position of the observer. The torque is the rotational force of the rotating object. Most often the perspective of the observer is from the driving end of a shaft facing the driven machine. The amount of torque at a given speed of the driving machine (engine or motor) is mechanically converted into work by the driven machine (generator, pump, compressor...etc.).

Can a body be in equillibrium if it is revolving clockwise under the action of single torque?

Yes..

What are anticlockwise and clockwise equilibrium?

Anticlockwise equilibrium refers to a state where the net torque acting on an object causes it to rotate counterclockwise, while clockwise equilibrium refers to a state where the net torque causes the object to rotate clockwise. In both cases, the object is in rotational equilibrium because the torques are balanced and there is no angular acceleration.

Why minus times plus equals minus?

If you have negetive 7 and you multiply it by 3 you are just adding negetive 7 three times so it remains negetive


What is negetive 82 over 5 asa a decimal?

It is -16.4 and the word is negative, not negetive.
