A bucket filled with water has a mass of 20.0 kg and is attached to a rope, which in turn, is wound around a 0.050-m radius cylinder at the top of a well. What torque does the weight of water and bucket produce on the cylinder if the cylinder is not permitted to rotate

The torque produced is 9.8 Nm.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bucket filled with water, m = 20 kg

radius of the cylinder, r = 0.05 m

The torque produced by the weight of water and bucket is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from a point on the line of action of the applied force. (since the cylinder is not permitted to rotate).

τ = F x r

τ = (mg) x r

τ = (20 x 9.8) x 0.05

τ = 9.8 Nm

Therefore, the torque produced is 9.8 Nm.

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.  

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
