Answer:
10,035
Explanation:
Length of the beam is 3.2m
Mass of steel beam is 500kg
Weight of steel =mg
Ws=400Ă—9.8=4900N
Also, man of mass =70kg
Weight of man(Wm)=70Ă—9.8=686N
The weight of the man will act as the middle of the beam
Torque is given as Force Ă—distance
tnet=WmĂ—L + WsĂ—L/w
tnet=686Ă—3.2+4900Ă—1.6
tnet=10,035.2Nm
The net torque about where the beam is bolted is 10,035.2Nm
