Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin $\theta\\$ where;

r is the radius of the of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

$\theta\\$ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

$T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm$
