If an object is in equilibrium:

Ralph noticed that both torque and work are
obtained by multiplying a force times a distance. He wants to know: how are they different?
Do
they have the same units? What can you tell Ralph to help him out?
The comments in the next next two boxes go into a big, mostly anonymous text file that I skim through before the morning lecture, using the comments to help me plan class discussion. ("Mostly anonymous", because I can track down who made what comment, but it takes some effort on my part to do so.) Therefore, if you really want to make sure I see your question/comment and answer it individually, you should send it to me via email and not through this form.
Which part of today's assignment was particularly hard or confusing? What
