Question

A torque of 67 Nm is needed to remove. if the radius of the screwdriver is 2 cm, what force is needed to losen the screw?

Answer 1

To find the force needed to loosen the screw, divide the torque needed by the distance from the axis of rotation. 3350 N force is needed to losen the screw.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the force needed to loosen the screw, we can use the formula for torque: torque = force x distance. Rearranging the formula, we have force = torque / distance.

In this case, the torque needed to remove the screw is given as 67 Nm and the radius of the screwdriver is 2 cm, which is equal to 0.02 m.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get force = 67 Nm / 0.02 m = 3350 N.

Answer 2

The force needed to loosen the screw is 3350 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Torque = Force x Perpendicular distance

Here we need to find force, torque and radius are given,

For a screw radius is similar to perpendicular distance

Perpendicular distance = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Torque = 67 Nm

Substituting in

Torque = Force x Perpendicular distance

67 = Force x 0.02

Force = 3350 N

The force needed to loosen the screw is 3350 N
