3. Alphys applies a torque to a nut with a wrench .5 meters long. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a force upward at an angle of 60° with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts has magnitude 80 N, what magnitude torque does she apply to the nut?
