Question: ( a ) A boy opens a 1 . 1 0 m wide door by pushing on it with a force of 4 0 .

(a)
A boy opens a 1.10 m wide door by pushing on it with a force of 40.5 N applied at the center of the door, at an angle perpendicular to the door's surface. What magnitude of torque (in N m) is applied about an axis through the hinges?
(b)
A second person opens the same door, using the same force, again directed perpendicular to the surface, but now the force is applied at the edge of the door. What magnitude of torque (in N m) is applied about the axis through the hinges now?
