Solution

The torque generated by a force can be calculated using the formula:

Torque = Force x Distance

In this case, the force (F) is 50 N and the distance (d) is 20.0 cm. However, the distance needs to be in meters for the units to be correct in the formula. So, we convert 20.0 cm to 0.2 m.

Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:

Torque = 50 N x 0.2 m = 10 N.m

So, the torque generated at the bolt is 10 N.m.
