Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 4CQ

If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a “cheater pipe.” This is a piece of pipe that slides over the handle of the wrench, as shown in Figure Q7.4, making it effectively much longer. Explain why this would help you loosen the nut.
