You have the wrong F. You used the result from part a, which is a torque.riseofphoenix said:

Check your units. (How did you do part a?)

No. Which way would the wrench tend to turn? Just look at the diagram and use your common experience.

Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object.
Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.
The magnitude of torque can be found by using the equation: magnitude of torque = force x distance.
Torque can be measured using a torque wrench or a torque sensor, which can measure the amount of force applied to an object and the distance from the axis of rotation.
The units of torque are typically expressed in newton-meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lb).
