Answer: The amount of Torque produced is 7.2 Nm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Force applied (F) to the end of a wrench = 60 Newton

Length of wrench = 0.12 meter

To find:

Quantity of Torque produced

Solution:

The quantity of Torque produced can be calculated from the following formula:

Ƭ = r F sin(θ)

Where,

Ƭ = Torque, r = radius, F = Force, (θ) = angle between F and the lever arm

In the given question,

r = 0.12,

F= 60,

(θ)= 900 {Since the force is applied at the end of a wrench, it must be perpendicular}

Torque (Ƭ) = 0.12* 60 * sin 900

= 7.2 m {sin 900 = 1}

Hence, in the given situation, 7.2 Nm Torque will be produced.
