A man applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.450 m long. Because of the cramped space, he must exert a force upward at an angle of 70.0° with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force he exerts has magnitude 52.0 N, what magnitude torque (in N · m) does he apply to the nut? (Assume that the force is applied at the end of the wrench.)

A man applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.450 m long. Because of the cramped space, he must exert a force upward at an angle of 70.0° with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force he exerts has magnitude 52.0 N, what magnitude torque (in N · m) does he apply to the nut? (Assume that the force is applied at the end of the wrench.)
