Problem:
A force is applied to a door at an angle of 55.4° and 0.33 m from the hinge.
(a) What force produces a torque with a magnitude of 2.12 N·m?
(b) How large is the maximum torque this force can exert?
Relevant Equations:
T=Fd
My Attempt
I could do part a (force is 7.8 N), but I don't understand how to do part b. How do you determine maximum torque when you only have the force?
