Determine the total torque due to the weight


The hour hand and the minute hand of Big Ben, a that Elizabeth tower clock in London, are 2.70 m and 4.50 m long and have masses of 60.0 kg and 100 kg, respectively. (a) Determine the total torque due to the weight of these hands aboutnthenaxis of rotation when thentimemreads (i) 3:00, (ii) 5:15, (iii) 6:00, (iv) 8:20, and (v) 9:45. (Hands are modeled as long, thin, and uniform.) (b) Dtermine all the times when the total torque about the axis of rotation is zero. Determine the times to the nearest second, soling a transcendental equation numerically.
