Spark plugs should be tightened to a specified torque of 14.55Nm. You have a wrench that is 0.21 m long, but because of the tightness of the space you can't pull the wrench at a ninety degree angle. You must pull at an angle of 25.42 degrees, measured from the handle of the wrench. What force must you exert on the wrench?
