In the given scenario, is the weight of the door responsible for any torque around the vertical axis? Explain your choice.
In the given scenario, is the weight of the door responsible for any torque around the vertical axis? Explain your

Options

  1. AYes, because the weight exerts a force parallel to the axis.
  2. BNo, because the weight creates torque only along the ±z direction.
  3. CYes, because the weight acts normal to the surface of the door.
  4. 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.
