    0.18 Nm

    Explanation:

    Note: Torque is independent of the mass of a body.

    From the question,

    T = F*d ... Equation 1

    Where T = Torque, F = force applied to the wrench, d = length of the wrench.

    Given: F = 12 N, d = 15 cm = 0.015 m

    Substitute into equation 1

    T = 12 (0.015)

    T = 0.18 Nm.

    Hence the torque applied is 0.18 Nm
