Problem 5a

Answer 1

Given information

Given:

When the ground is wet it exerts a significant force   on the wall.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis. Force is what causes an object to move in linear kinetics. Similarly, torque is what causes angular acceleration. Therefore, torque can be defined as the rotational equivalent of the linear force.
