A force 140 N is exerted along the rim of the wheel.What force should be applied to the outsideof the axle in order to prevent the wheel from rotating? Assume the direction of this forceto be tangential to the axle.Answer in units of N.i don‘t even know what an axle is so i can‘t really do this problem.
The axle is connected to the center of the wheel. You're given their diameters so you can solve for the radius of each. To prevent the wheel from rotating a force should be applied to the axle in the opposite direction as the force on the wheel. Also, the magnitude of the two torques (one on the wheel and the other on the axle) should be equal.
The axle is the shaft that the wheel is mounted on The force applied to the rim of the wheel produces a torque force * distance 140N * 0.82m (Nm) The torque applied to the axle must balance this, therefore the force 140N * 0.82/0.15
it just mean wheel when it says axle
