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.
