T=235+980dThe torque, T, in newton-meters, on a diving board with a 100 kilogram weight placed d meters from the diving board's fulcrum is given by the equation. How much torque in newton-meters is on the diving board when the weight is placed at the fulcrum?
Q. T=235+980dThe torque, T, in newton-meters, on a diving board with a 100 kilogram weight placed d meters from the diving board's fulcrum is given by the equation. How much torque in newton-meters is on the diving board when the weight is placed at the fulcrum?
Identify Equation and Variables: Identify the given equation and the variables.The given equation is T=235+980d, where T is the torque in newton-meters and d is the distance in meters from the diving board's fulcrum.
Determine Value of d: Determine the value of d when the weight is placed at the fulcrum.When the weight is placed at the fulcrum, the distance d is 0 meters.
Substitute Value of d: Substitute the value of d into the equation to find the torque.Substitute d=0 into the equation T=235+980d.T=235+980(0)T=235+0T=235
