The captain of a ship grabs hold of the wheel with one hand


(a) The captain of a ship grabs hold of the wheel with one hand a distance of 0.285m from the axis of rotation to adjust the rudder. Assuming that he is pushing with a force of 29.6N perpendicular to axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the torque?

(b) Later on the wind is calm and the oars are necessary to move the boat. A rower with his arms outstretched initially has the oar at 75.1o from the direction he is pulling. If he pulls with a force of 96.7N, then what is the magnitude of the initial torque for an oar that is grabbed a distance of 1.85m from the pivot point?
