Question

If you push a wrench with a force of 185 N and that provides 50.4 Nm of torque, how far from the bolt did you apply your force?

Answer 1

0.27 meters

Explanation:

We have that the torque in this situation is given as follows:

`\begin{gathered} \tau=F\cdot d \\ \text{ we solve for d:} \\ d=(\tau)/(F) \end{gathered}`

We replace and calculate the distance:

`\begin{gathered} d=(50.4)/(185) \\ d=0.27\text{ m} \end{gathered}`

Distance is 0.27 meters
