The distance from the angler's hand to the tip of the pole is L = 2.15 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 105 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand?

Question
The distance from the angler's hand to the tip of the pole is
L = 2.15 m.
A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of
F = 105 N
at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand?
Expert Solution

Step 1
The relation between torque exerted by the fish and the force applied by the fish is given by,
Where, T=torque exerted by the fish
r=L=length of the pole
F=force applied by the fish
angle made by pole with the respect to the horizontal
Step by step
