7. SET UP ONLY find the vector component forms of the force vector
and distance vector you would use to find the torque created on the bolt
by the wrench shown. There are many possible answers, so make sure
you clearly mark your x and y axes you used to orientate the picture.
You can leave your answer in terms of the angle(s) involved. (I know the
angles are not nice ones....)
