Luis uses a 20-cm-long wrench to tighten a nut, turning it clockwise. The wrench handle is tilted 30° above the horizontal, and Luis pulls down perpendicular to the wrench (the radial line) on the end with a force of 100 N. How much torque does Luis exert on the nut? 17 N m 20 N m 0 N m -17 N m -20 N m

You slip a wrench over a bolt. Taking the origin at the bolt, the other end of the wrench is at $x=18 \mathrm{cm}, y=5.5 \mathrm{cm} .$ You apply a force $\vec{F}=88 \hat{\imath}-23 \hat{\jmath} \mathrm{N}$ to the end of the wrench. What's the torque on the bolt?
