you are trying to loosen a stuck bolt on your rv using a big wrench that is 50 cm long. if you hang from the wrench, and your mass is 55 kg, what is the maximum torque you can exert on the bolt?



Answer :

The maximum torque can be exerted on the bolt be 269.5 N·m.

What is torque?

The force that can cause an object to rotate along an axis is measured by torque. Similar to how force drives linear kinematics acceleration, torque drives angular acceleration.

A vector quantity is torque. The force on the axis's direction determines the direction of the torque vector.

Given parameters:

Mass; M = 55 kg.

Length of the wrench; l = 50 cm = 0.50 m.

Hence, maximum  torque can be exerted on the bolt = weight × Length of the wrench = mgl = 55 × 9.8 × 0.5 N·m = 269.5 N·m.
