Part A-

1- You are installing a new spark plug in your car, and the manual specifies that it be tightened to a torque that has a magnitude of 38 N•m. Using the data in the drawing, determine the magnitude F of the force that you must exert on the wrench.

2- A square, 0.80 m on a side, is mounted so that it can rotate about an axis that passes through the center of the square. The axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. A force of 15.6 N lies in this plane and is applied to the square. What is the magnitude of the maximum torque that such a force could produce?

3-  One end of a meter stick is pinned to a table, so the stick can rotate freely in a plane parallel to the tabletop. Two forces, both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. The first force has a magnitude of 2.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the length of the stick at the free end. The second force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 22.9° angle with respect to the length of the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the end of the stick that is pinned.
