Chapter 5, Problem 13SP
A wrench is 50.0 cm long. It is placed on a nut, and a force of 100 N is applied perpendicular to the wrench handle. This force is in the plane of the wrench and nut, at a distance of 30.0 cm from the center of the nut. Determine the size of the torque twisting the nut. [Hint: Draw a diagram and label the moment arm. Watch out for units.]

A bolt is tightened by applying a 60 N force to a wrench. If the magnitude of the torque is 120 Nm, and the angle between the force vector and the position vector of the wrench is 30 degrees, then how long is the wrench?
In unit-vector notation, what is the net torque about the origin on a flea located at coordinates (0, -2.04 m, 5.53 m) when forces F→1=(1.06N)k̂ and F→2=(−7.18N)ĵ act on the flea?
The engine of the bus applies a torque of 328.2 N · m to a wheel of radius 0.538 m. Since the wheel does not slip, the road must be applying a force of static friction to the wheel that produces a counter-torque. Moreover, the bus has a constant velocity, so this counter-torque balances the applied torque. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force?
