Suppose a bolt on your car engine needs to be tightened to a torque of \(20 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\). You are using a \(15-\mathrm{cm}-\) long wrench, and you apply a force at the very end in the direction that produces maximum torque. What force should you apply?
A. \(1300 \mathrm{~N}\)
B. \(260 \mathrm{~N}\)
C. \(130 \mathrm{~N}\)
D. \(26 \mathrm{~N}\)
