Answer: Torque T = 40.7 Nm
Explanation:
Torque or turning effect is the rotational equivalent of linear force, i.e moment of force about a point.
Given that the force is applied perpendicular to the edge (angle 90°)
Torque can be represented by T;
T = FrSin∅ = Fr ( sin90 = 1)
T = force × distance
T = F × r
F = 55N
r = 74cm = 0.74m
T = 55N × 0.74m
T = 40.7 Nm
