Answer: 3.63 Nm
Explanation:
from the question we were given the following
mass = 1.7 kg
length of the string (r) = 2.5 ,m
angle θ = 5 degrees
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s
we can calculate the torque using the formula Torques = m x g x r x sin θ
torque = 1.7 x 9.8 x 2.5 x sin 5
torque = 3.63 Nm
