Answer:

0.04658 m from the nut

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that torque is defined as the vector product of force (F) times distance (d). Then, given that the force is applied perpendicular to the wrench, gives the sine of the angle (90 degrees) equal to 1, simplifying the calculation which consists basically on solving for d in the equation:

2.25 N*m = 48.3 N * d

d = 2.25 /48.3 m ≈ 0.04658 m
