Question 1013086: a spanner of length 0.2m is used to loosen a wheel nut of a car. if the torque produced by the spanner is 100nm what is the maximum force applied at the end to loosen the nut Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Torque = Force x distance x sin(theta)
Force is maximized when applied at 90 degrees to the spanner...
Here then, F = tau/distance = 100 N*m / .2 m = 500 N
