A mechanic uses a torque wrench to tighten a spark plug on an engine. The wrench has a length of 25 cm, and the mechanic applies a force of 40 N perpendicular to the end of the handle.

Which of the following options correctly expresses the magnitude of the moment exerted on the spark plug in SI base units?

10 kg m s−210\text{ kg m s}^{-2}10 kg m s−2

1000 kg m2s−21000\text{ kg m}^2\text{s}^{-2}1000 kg m2s−2

10 kg m2s−210\text{ kg m}^2\text{s}^{-2}10 kg m2s−2

1000 kg m s−21000\text{ kg m s}^{-2}1000 kg m s−2
