Question

To tighten a bolt, you push with a force of 80 N at the end of a wrench handle that is 0.25 m from the axis of the bolt. a. What torque are you exerting? b. You move your hand inward to be only 0.10 m from the bolt. To achieve the same torque, show that you should exert 200 N of force. c. Do your answers depend on the direction of your push relative to the direction of the wrench handle?

Step 1

Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the axis of rotation. In this case, the force is 80 N and the distance is 0.25 m. So, the torque is 80 N * 0.25 m = 20 Nm. Show more…
