If the torque required to loosen a nut on a wheel has a magnitude of 40.0 N·m and the force exerted by a mechanic is 133 N, how far from the nut must the mechanic apply the force? Question 7 options:

1.) 0.15 m
2.) 0.6 m
3.) 0.3 m
4.) 1.2 m

3.) 0.3 m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Torque  = 40Nm

Force = 133N

Unknown:

Distance from the nut that the mechanic must apply the force  = ?

Solution:

Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate on its axis;

  Torque  = force x distance

   Distance  =  = 0.3m

where are the vectors ?

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
