Two blocks each of the mass m are attached to the ends of a massless rod which pivots as shown in the figure. Initially, the rod is held in the horizontal position and then released. Calculate the net torque on this system above pivot.

a
ml2g−ml1gk^
b
ml1g−ml2gk^
c
ml1g+ml2gk^
d
−ml1g+ml2gk^

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Torque due to the weight of Left m:τ→1=mgl1k^(∴ this is anti-clock wise )Torque due to weight of right m:τ→2=−mgl2k^(∴ this is clockwise)  So net torque: τ→=τ→1+τ→2=mgl1−mgl2k^
