An automobile engine can produce 200Nm of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.

A shelf with a mass 11kg and length 2.0 m is attached to the pivot, at which the shelf can rotate. W is the weight force of the shelf acting at the center of mass of the shelf, which is located halfway from either end of the shelf. The box of mass 5.0 kg is placed at 1.6 m away from the pivot and Fbox represents the force the box applies to the shelf. If you lift the shelf with force F - 94.3 N at the right end of the shelf and the direction as shown(down) What is the net torque on the shelf in N m? Round to nearest tenths if necesaary. If the torque is clockwise, report answer with a negative value. Use g= 9.8 m/s ^2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
