Which has a greater torque a perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle or an equal force applied in the same direction near the middle of the handle?

the perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle. Because torque= Fd / T = F d cos θ

therefore the greater the distance the greater the torque.

T=torque

F=force

d=distance

cos=cosine

θ=theta
