Question
To loosen a stuck nut, an inexperience mechanic pulls at an angle of 45⁰ on the end of a 50 cm wrench with a force of 200N.
- Determine the magnitude of the torque on the nut.
- If the nut suddenly turns freely, find the
angular acceleration of the wrench? ( the wrench has a mass of 3kg, and its shape is that of a thin rod)
