Problem

A 0.35 m0.35\,\text{m} long wrench is pulled with a constant 50 N50\,\text{N} force. The force is always applied at 90∘90^{\circ} to the wrench as it turns from θ=0\theta = 0 to θ=π2 rad\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\,\text{rad}. Approximately how much work is done on the wrench during this rotation? (a) 55 J55\,\text{J} (b) 27 J27\,\text{J} (c) 17.5 J17.5\,\text{J} (d) 14 J14\,\text{J}
