Dear,
I have two cases for understanding the torque.
attaching one Picture with two cases.
i have to compress the rubber part with 1meter long fixture. load application is from 1meter distance from hinge center. Torque = load(f) x distance(1m) X sin90degree(1). this is i know to find torque.
rubber is put on different location. Q: will the load vs deformation of rubber same for both cases? why/whynot?:roll
kindly anybody suggest.
