Problem

A force of fixed magnitude is applied at the end of a spanner in three separate trials. Trial I: the force makes an angle of 0∘0^{\circ} with the spanner. Trial II: the force makes an angle of 45∘45^{\circ} with the spanner. Trial III: the force makes an angle of 90∘90^{\circ} with the spanner. The point of application remains the same in all the trials. Arrange the three trials in increasing order of the magnitude of torque produced about the nut (write the trial numbers in order).
