Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the total torque acting on a cuboid when given different forces acting at defined distances from the center of mass.
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the directions of forces; they can influence the total torque.
Discuss how changing a cuboid's mass distribution affects its moment of inertia and subsequently its angular momentum.
💡 Hint: Think about how pulling mass closer to the axis of rotation increases speed.
