Torque and center of mass
A person exerts a force of 38N on the end of a door 96cm wide. What is the magnitude of the torque if the force is exerted
(a) perpendicular to the door
and
(b) at a 60.0° angle to the face of the door?
*note: Please explain this in the simplest terms possible for me. Thank you so much :)
