The fishing pole in Figure P8.3 makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and pass- ing through the angler's hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F = 1.00 × 10² N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the angler's hands. 120.0° 87.0° -2.00 m- 120.0° 100 N Figure P8.3
