physics question?

To allow a projectile to travel through the air, a torque is applied as the projectile is fired to give it a ‘spin’ so that it rotates in a direction perpendicular to the direction of launch.

A projectile has a radius of 0.45 mm, and a torque of 0.50 N m is applied during firing.

Assuming that the torque is provided by a couple, determine the size of one of these forces.

    0.5 / (0.45 * 10^-3) / 2

    = 5000 / 9 = 555.55 newtons
