\begin{gathered} \text{Question A is done very well} \\ Question\text{ B} \\ Torque\text{ = (115 kg)(9}.81m/s^2)(3m) \\ Torque\text{ = 3384.45kg}m/s^2(m) \\ \text{The torque generated by the }\min iature\text{ horse is 3384.45kg}m/s^2(m) \\ \\ \text{Question C},\text{ torque of the man= torque of the horse} \\ (175kg)(\text{9}.81m/s^2)x=\text{(115 kg)(9}.81m/s^2)(3m) \\ 1716.75\text{kg}m/s^2x=\text{3384.45kg}m/s^2(m) \\ \text{Solving x} \\ x=\frac{\text{3384.45kg}m/s^2(m)}{1716.75\text{kg}m/s^2} \end{gathered}
