While exploring the wooded areas by York University, a student found a mysterious hatch with a turning wheel on top of it. Turning the wheel by hand was of no use. The student knew that they could use a powerful car winch (a motorized device reeling in the rope, cable or chain attached to it). Unfortunately, they only had a rope, which was rated to withstand 3.00x103 N. The student tied the rope at 27.27 cm from the center of rotation, and turned on the motor. At first, the wheel began to rotate, so the student kept increasing car winch power to maintain constant rotation. However, when the rope and the wooden handle made an angle of 2.217 rad relative to each other, the rope snapped. What was the torque applied to the wheel just before the rope snapped? Include units in SI
