Question

Jorge tightens a bolt on his bicycle with a wrench that is 0.20 m long. If he pulls perpendicularly on the end of the wrench with a force of 140 N, how much torque does he apply ?

Answer 1

28Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque is expressed as the prduct of force and radius

Given

Force = 140N

radius = 0.20m

Torque = 140 * 0.2

Torque = 140 * 1/5

Torque = 28Nm

Hence the amouunt of torque applied is 28Nm
