When using a wrench to remove one of your lug nuts, you encounter one that resists your initial attempt to turn it. What can you do to increase the amount of torque you exert on the lug nut? (Select all answers that are correct) a. "Choke up" on the wrench – that is, push closer to the lug nut. b. Exert more force on the wrench. c. Push at a 45° angle rather than a 90° angle (with respect to the arm of the wrench). d. Put a hollow pipe over the wrench and push on the pipe further from the lug nut.

When turning a bolt using a wrench, what is the best way to maximize the applied torque? Apply a force at a 90 degree angle at the end of the handle. Apply a force at a 45 degree angle halfway up the handle. Apply a force at a 45 degree angle at the end of the handle. Apply a force at a 90 degree angle halfway up the handle.
