Question

to tighen a nut you exert 15N of force on wrench, which is a distance of 0.50m from pivot point. calculate amonut of torque produced...

Answer 1

Torque equals force applied, multiplied by the distance from the axis of the nut (the "pivot point"). This assumes the force is applied perpendicular to the line from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied, as in this case.

In this case the torque is 7.5 Newton-meters
