First find PQ and QR. For PQ, use the right-triangle:
$$\displaystyle{\tan{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right)}}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{P}{Q}}}}$$, so $$\displaystyle{P}{Q}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{\tan{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right\rbrace}}}}}}$$
For QR, first find its opposite angle to be $$\displaystyle{180}^{\circ}-{24}^{\circ}-{48}^{\circ}={108}^{\circ}$$
Now using the law of sines:
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{{\sin{{\left({108}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}{{{Q}{R}}}}={\frac{{{\sin{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}{{{2}}}}$$, thus $$\displaystyle{Q}{R}={\frac{{{2}{\sin{{\left({108}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}{{{\sin{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}}$$
Therefore:
$$\displaystyle{P}{R}={P}{Q}+{Q}{R}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{\tan{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}}+{\frac{{{2}{\sin{{\left({108}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}{{{\sin{{\left({24}^{\circ}\right)}}}}}}\approx{6.92}$$

A pair of forces with equal magnitudes, opposite directions,and different lines of action is called a "couple". When acouple acts on a rigid object, the couple produces a torque thatdoes not depend on the location of the axis. The drawing shows acouple acting on a tire wrench, each force being perpendicular tothe wrench. Determine an expression for the torque produced by thecouple when the axis is perpendicular to the tired and passesthrough (a) point A, (b) point B, and (c) point C. Express youranswers in terms of the magnitude F of the force and the length Lof the wrench
