Answer:

2.064 N.m

Explanation:

Torque: This is the force that act on a system, which tends to cause rotation or twisting. The S.I unit of Torque is N.m

Torque is represented mathematically as,

T = F×d........................ Equation 1

Where T = Torque, F = Force, d = perpendicular distance.

Given: F = 4.8 N,  d = 0.43 m.

Substitute into equation 1

T = 4.8×0.43

T = 2.064 N.m

Hence the Torque produced = 2.064 N.m
