Question 327778: A woman changes a flat tire with a tire iron 50.0 cm long. She exerts a force of 53.0 N. How much torque does she produce? Express your answer in metric units to the nearest tenth of a unit. Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When dealing with SI units, torque is measured in Newton-meters.
Torque is just length times force.
.5 meters times 53 Newtons is 26.5 Newton-meters.
That's it.
