The cylindrical head bolts on a car are to be tightened with a torque of 63.3 N · m. If a mechanic uses a wrench of length 18.2 cm, what perpendicular force (in N) must he exert on the end of the wrench to tighten a bolt correctly? (Enter the magnitude.)

    Answer: The perpendicular force to be used to tighten the bolt is

    F=347.8N

    Explanation:

    Mathematically the torque is expressed as

    T=F*L

    Where T = torque in Nm

    F = force in N

    And L = perpendicular distance

    Now given

    T=63.3Nm

    L=18.2cm to meter 18.2/100

    0.182m

    F=?

    Making F the subject of the formula in our equation

    F=T/L

    F=63.3/0.182

    F=347.8N

    What is torque?

    Torque is the product of force and perpendicular distance of the line of action.
