Parker is performing a squat with a barbell. Body mass is 87 kg and barbell mass is 58 kg. When they are balanced so that the point of application of the ground reaction force is in the middle of their foot, moment arm for the ground reaction force to the hip joint is 0.088 m. When they shift their weight closer to their toes that moment arm length increases to 0.127 m. How much does that weight shift increase the torque required by the hip? Give your answer as an increase in Nm and to one decimal point.
