Problem
Two students each use a 0.20 m wrench and pull with a 50 N force. Student A pulls perpendicular to the wrench; Student B pulls at an angle of 30° to the wrench. Without performing detailed calculations, state which student produces the smaller torque and by what factor that torque differs from the other student’s torque.
