Question

Please answer with steps and explanation for what you did and how you did it. Thank you very much.

**Title: Understanding Torque with Wrenches**

**Description:**

In the image, six wrenches labeled A through F are shown, each with arrows indicating the direction and point of applied force. All wrenches are marked as 15 mm and are labeled "Craftsman."

**Task: Rank the wrenches based on the torque experienced, from most to least.**

**Wrenches and Torque Details:**

- **Wrench A:** Force is applied perpendicularly at the end of the handle.
- **Wrench B:** Force is applied at an angle close to the center of the handle.
- **Wrench C:** Force is applied perpendicularly near the open end.
- **Wrench D:** Force is applied near the middle of the handle.
- **Wrench E:** Force is applied perpendicularly at the other end of the handle.
- **Wrench F:** Force is applied parallel to the handle at the open end.

**Analysis:**

- The torque experienced by a wrench is determined by the force applied and the distance from the pivot point (where the wrench contacts the nut). Torque is calculated as force times the perpendicular distance from the pivot.
- Maximum torque occurs when the force is applied perpendicularly at the furthest point from the pivot.
- Wrench F experiences the least torque due to the force applied parallel to the axis of rotation, resulting in zero effective torque.

By analyzing the application points and angles, rank the wrenches from the one experiencing the most torque to the least.
