# A force of \(17 \, \text{N}\) is applied to the end of a \(0.63 \, \text{m}\) long torque wrench at an angle \(45^\circ\) from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?

A force of \(17 \, \text{N}\) is applied to the end of a \(0.63 \, \text{m}\) long torque wrench at an angle \(45^\circ\) from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?

- **A.** \(10.7 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}\)
- **B.** \(9.7 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}\)
- **C.** \(12.0 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}\)
- **D.** \(7.6 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}\)
