When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 170 N at a distance of 0.155 m from the center of the bolt.

(a) How much torque are you exerting on the wrench, in newton meters, relative to the center of the bolt?

(b) What is this torque, in pound-foot?

T=fd

f=170N

d=0.155m

T=170*0.155

T=26.35Nm⁻

i don't know how to convert to pound foot

the answer is correct in newton meters anyway (Nm⁻¹)
