to tighen a nut you exert 15N of force on wrench, which is a distance of 0.50m from pivot point. calculate amonut of torque produced...
Torque equals force applied, multiplied by the distance from the axis of the nut (the "pivot point"). This assumes the force is applied perpendicular to the line from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied, as in this case.
In this case the torque is 7.5 Newton-meters

To calculate the amount of torque produced, you need to multiply the force applied by the perpendicular distance from the pivot point. Torque is measured in newton-meters (Nm).
The formula to calculate torque is:
Torque = Force × Distance
In your case:
Force = 15N
Distance = 0.50m
Now substitute the values into the formula:
Torque = 15N × 0.50m
Multiply the force (15N) by the distance (0.50m):
Torque = 7.5 Nm
So, the amount of torque produced by exerting 15N of force at a distance of 0.50m from the pivot point is 7.5 Nm.
