SOLUTION: Given: t = f�L, where "t" is torque, "f" is force, and "L" is length. What force (in pounds) must be applied to an 0.8 ft long torque rench to achieve the same torque generated

Question 872621: Given: t = f�L, where "t" is torque, "f" is force, and "L" is length.
What force (in pounds) must be applied to an 0.8 ft long torque
rench to achieve the same torque generated by a 100 lb force
applied to an 0.5 ft long torque wrench?

The torque generate by a 100 lb force on 0.5 ft long wrench = 100 * 0.5 = 50
Force applied to an 0.8 ft long torque wrench to achieve a torque of 50 can be expressed as
0.8*f=50
f=50/0.8=62.5 lb
Therefore, the required force to be applied is 62.5 lb.
