xed axis involve no question of translation, and they aresolved by using the second condition of equilibrium. Thus onepoint of a lever, the fulcrum, is fixed in position, and the equilib-rium of the lever depends upon balanced torque actions aboutthe fulcrum. First example. Consider the two forces… … Fig. 19a. Fig. 19&. SIMPLE STATICS. 57 torques are opposite in direction and therefore to balance eachother they must be equal in value; or, in other words, we must have Aa = Bb Second example. Figure 196 represents a wheel and axle, theradius of the wheel being a and the radius of the axle…
