Can someone help me find this torque?

OpenStudy (idku):

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth (the figure below). If the muscle generates a force of 46.0 N and it is acting with an effective lever arm of 22.5 cm, what is the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist?

OpenStudy (idku):

Force × lever arm?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

torque = force * distance from the fulcrum

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

Oh, nice, tnx:)
