Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force (N) applied at 90 ∘to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound SI unit for the torque is N⋅m. If the force (at 90 ∘to the lever arm) applied is 15 Nand it is applied at 2.0 mfrom the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?
