| Based on the diagram, we can determine that the pivot point of the system is at the keg, and the person turns around this. We can use this information to determine the radiuses of the three torques in our system. Torque due to the keg ($\tau_{k}$), | Based on the diagram, we can determine that the pivot point of the system is at the keg, and the person turns around this.
