    Torque is 240 Nm

    Explanation:

    We know the equation for torque

    Torque = Force x Perpendicular distance

    T = F x r

    Here we need to find torque when a 3.0 x 10² N force is applied perpendicularly to the plane of the door at a distance of 0.80 m from the hinges ...

    That is

    Force = 3.0 x 10² N

    Perpendicular distance = 0.8 m

    Substituting

    Torque = Force x Perpendicular distance

    Torque = 3.0 x 10² x 0.80

    Torque = 240 Nm

    Torque is 240 Nm
