Q61. τ = F * r = 5 N * 0.4 m = 2 N m.
Q62. Lever.
Q63. No. For example, the centre of mass of a ring lies at its geometric centre, which is outside the material of the ring.
Q64. K = (1/2) I ω², where I is the moment of inertia about the axis and ω is the angular velocity.
Q65. Angular Momentum.
Q66. α = (ω - ω₀)/t = (30 - 10)/5 = 20/5 = 4 rad/s².
Q67. Zero, because the angle θ between r and F is 0° or 180°, making sinθ = 0.
Q68. The vector sum of all external forces acting on the system must be zero.
Q69. P = M V, where P is total linear momentum, M is total mass, and V is velocity of centre of mass.
Q70. 'r' is the position vector of the point of application of the force relative to the point about which the torque is being calculated.
