Example 8-9: <strong>Torque</strong> on a compound wheel<br />

O Two thin disk-shaped wheels, of radii r A = 30 cm<br />

<strong>and</strong> r B = 50 cm, are attached to each other on an<br />

axle that passes through the center of each, as<br />

shown. Calculate the net torque on this compound<br />

wheel due to the two forces shown, each of<br />

magnitude 50 N.
