The least amount of force that must be exerted on the wrench to have the torque
Answer to Problem 64A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The torque required on the bolt,
The length of the wrench,
Formula used:
The torque can be obtained by:
Where, F is the applied force, r is the distance of the point of application of force from the axis of rotation, and
Calculation:
Using the above formula of torque, the required force is,
Now, to have the least force to be exerted on the wrench,
Then, using the given values in above, the required least force will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the required least force is
