Problem
A wrench is 0.25 m long, measured from the center of the bolt to the point where a mechanic pushes on the handle. The mechanic pushes with a force that makes a 60° angle to the wrench. Identify the perpendicular distance that should be used when calculating the torque about the bolt and briefly state why that distance is appropriate.
