According to the manual of a certain car, a maximum torque of magnitude 57.0 Nm should be applied when tightening the lug nuts on the vehicle. If you use a wrench of length 0.269 m and you apply the force at the end of the wrench at an angle of 75.00° with respect to a line going from the lug nut through the end of the handle, what is the magnitude of the maximum force you can exert on the handle without exceeding the recommendation?

The wheel of a car has a radius of 0.300 m. The engine ofthe car applies a torque of 240 N*m to this wheel, which does not slip against the road surface. Since the wheel does not slip, the road must be applying a force of static friction to the wheel that produces a counter torque. Moreever, the car has a constatnt velocity, so this counter torque balances the applied tourque. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force?
