To tighten a bolt, you push with a force of 84N at the end of a wrench handle that is 0.24m from the axis of the bolt. What torque are you exerting?
84*.24
To calculate the torque exerted on the bolt, you need to use the equation:
Torque = Force × Distance
In this case, the force is given as 84N and the distance is given as 0.24m. So, the torque can be calculated as follows:
Torque = 84N × 0.24m
= 20.16 N·m
Therefore, you are exerting a torque of 20.16 N·m on the bolt.
