Torque to Lift a 10 kg Bottle by Hand
Given:
- Mass of bottle: 10 kg
- Gravity: 9.8 m/s²
- Force needed: F = m × g = 10 × 9.8 = 98 N
- Lever arm (distance from shoulder joint to hand): r = 0.3 m
Torque Formula:
T = F * r
Calculation:
T = 98 \, N * 0.3 \, m = 29.4 \, N·m
Result:
- Torque required: ≈ 29.4 N·m
Note:
For a longer lever arm (e.g., 0.5 m):
T = 98 * 0.5 = 49 N·m
- Torque depends on the pivot point; if lifting straight up without rotation, torque is less relevant.
