Can someone send me a link,where finding torque is explained simply ?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

Force times distance ..... right?

anonymous · Answer

yes ,but i find them hard when we also have cos37 and sin37!

amistre64 · Answer

thats part of vectors then, and not really torque ... im assuming

is there a more specific problem that we can relate these to?

anonymous · Answer

This example is solved in my book,but i cant understand the procedure! 
-The force applied to a 0.2m long spanner is 15N.Find the torque produced by this force.(take cos37=0.8 and sin37=0.6)

then tag me in your post so I can have a look see later please
