    With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque.

    Explanation:

    We need to complete the description of the problem, searchin in internet we have:

    "Sometimes, even with a wrench, one cannot loosen a nut that is frozen tightly to a bolt. It is often possible to loosen the nut by slipping one end of a long pipe over the wrench handle and pushing at the other end of the pipe. With the aid of the pipe, does the applied force produce a smaller torque, a greater torque, or the same torque on the nut?"

    With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque, as it increases the distance or radius of torque.

    We know that torque is defined, as the product of force by distance, in this way we have:

    T = F * d

    where:

    T = torque [N*m]

    F = force [N]

    d = distance [m]

    We can see in the above equation, that increasing the distance increases torque proportionally.
