Sometimes, even with a wrench, one cannot loosen a nut that is frozen tightly to a bolt. It is often possible to loosen the nut by slipping
one end of a long pipe over the wrench handle and pushing at the other end of the pipe. With the aide of the pipe, does the applied
force produce a smaller torque, a greater torque, or the same torque on the nut?
smaller torque
greater torque
O same torque
