Question 24
Easy

Figure 1 shows a torque wrench being used to tighten a bolt.

A downward force, FFF, is applied perpendicular to the wrench handle.

Torque wrench on bolt

Calculate the moment of the force, FFF, about the pivot (the center of the bolt).

Give your answer in Nm. Use the equation:

moment of a force=force×distance from pivot \text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \times \text{distance from pivot} moment of a force=force×distance from pivot
