1. **Problem stated:** Draw a car and give a physics example using it, like torque. 2. **Torque formula:** The basic formula for torque is $$\tau = rF\sin(\theta)$$. - $\tau$ is torque. - $r$ is the distance from the pivot point. - $F$ is the force. - $\theta$ is the angle between the force and the lever arm. 3. **Important rules:** - If the force is perpendicular to the lever arm, then $\sin(\theta)=1$, so the torque is largest. - If the force points directly toward the pivot, then $\sin(\theta)=0$, so the torque is $0$. - Torque depends on both how hard you push and how far from the pivot you push. 4. **Car example:** Suppose a mechanic pushes on a wrench to loosen a car wheel nut. - Distance from the nut: $r=0.30$ m - Force applied: $F=50$ N - Angle: $\theta=90^\circ$ Substitute into the formula: $$\tau = rF\sin(\theta)$$ $$\tau = (0.30)(50)\sin(90^\circ)$$ $$\tau = (0.30)(50)(1)$$ $$\tau = 15$$ 5. **Answer:** The torque is $$15\ \text{N·m}$$. 6. **Car drawing:** The car diagram is shown in the SVG field.
