Question

An 80N force acts at the end of a 12cm wrench. Find the torque

Answer 1

This is the image. There are two ways that this problem was done when I originally did this in class, the first part I understand but the second I'm a bit confused on.

Here's part 1:

\[t=F*r=80N*.104m=8.31N\]
.104m comes from 12cm*sin60.
