On a playground, there is a merry-go-round. In order to get it moving, Bonnie applies a force of 17 N. The merry-go-round measures 5.3 m from the axis of rotation to the edge where Bonnie applies her force. Assuming she applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the torque t Bonnie imparts to the merry-go-round? N.m
