Question

Torque (or moment) is the measure of turning force or twist on an object. If a mechanic is applying 12 Newton centimeters of torque on a bolt how many pound inches would this be?

Answer 1

1.0638

Explanation:

Given the question:

If a mechanic is applying 12 Newton centimeters of torque on a bolt how many pound inches would this be?

Torque = 12 Newton centimeter

Torque which is the turning effect on an object :

1 Newton = 0.225 pound force

1 centimeter = 0.394 inch

Hence ;

1 Newton centimeter = (1 × 0.225 × 0.394) = 0.08865 pound inch

12 Newton centimeter is hence, equals :

(12 × 0.225 × 0.394) pound inch

= 1.0638 pound inch
