Question

a nut is rusted and jammed. we have two wrenches one of 10 cm and another of 20 cm. which wrench is preferred to unscrew the nut ? give reason also​

Answer 1

The wrench which generate more pressure should be used .

`\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Pressure=(Force)/(Area)`

`\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Pressure\propto (1)/(Area)`

The wrench having less area will generate more pressure .

Hence the first wrench will be used.
