1 Torque  If an unbalanced force acts on an object at rest, and: 1)the force does not act along the center of mass of the object, 2)the object is fixed at a certain spot, 3)another force is also acting, but at a different spot on the object, OR the object will rotate about some axis

2 Torque The torque that a force exerts on an object is found by: rotation axis (moment arm) (cross product)

3 The force on the wrench is 105 N and is applied 18 cm from the rotation axis of the bolt. The hand pushes perpendicular to the wrench handle. The torque exerted on the wrench by the hand is…

4 If the maximum radius of the bolt is 1.30 cm, the minimum force the wrench will exert on the bolt would be… The wrench applies the same torque to the bolt.
