NEETPhysicsRotational Motion
In the given scenario, is the weight of the door responsible for any torque around the vertical axis? Explain your choice.
Options
- AYes, because the weight exerts a force parallel to the axis.
- BNo, because the weight creates torque only along the ±z direction.
- CYes, because the weight acts normal to the surface of the door.
- DNo, because the door's weight cannot generate torque around the y-axis.
Correct answer
B. No, because the weight creates torque only along the ±z direction.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) No, because the weight creates torque only along the ±z direction.
