Avery light 1.0-m-long rod is allowed to rotate about a point 0.25 m from its left side. using unit-vector notation and cross product, find the torque that results about this point from the following forces (all of which are in the xy plane): (a) f1 = 2.0 n acting downward on the left end of the rod, (b) f2 = 2.0 n acting upward on the center of the rod at an angle θ2 = 60º, and (c) f3 = 2.0 n acting downward on the right end of the rod at an angle θ3 = 45º. (d) if the rod has a uniform mass distribution and total mass of 1.0 kg, find the torque about this same point in the absence of any external forces. (e) finally, consider the net torque that results from the rod’s weight plus a force at the same location and in the same direction as f1. what magnitude should this force be in order to have a net torque of zero?

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
