A worker applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.500 mlong. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a forceupward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from thenut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts hasmagnitude 80.0 N, what magnitude torque does she apply tothe nut?
