The arm of a crane at a construction site is17.0 m long, and it makes an angle of 16.8◦with the horizontal. Assume that the maximum load the crane can handle is limitedby the amount of torque the load producesaround the base of the arm.What maximum torque can the crane withstand if the maximum load the crane canhandle is 785 N?Answer in units of N · m.
