A wrench is used to tighten a nut. A 15N perpendicular force is applied 50cm away from the axis of rotation, and moves a distance of 10 cm as it turns. What is the torque applied to the wrench?
Explanation
Torque (\(\tau\)) is calculated as Force (F) multiplied by the perpendicular distance (r). Here, \(\tau = 15\,N \times 0.50\,m = 7.5\,Nm\).
