Question

You get a flat tire on your car coming to school. Trying as hard as you can to rotate the wrench counterclockwise to remove the nut, it won't move. You get a pipe out of your trunk and fit it over the handle of the wrench. Now you can easily remove the nut from the tire. The reason this happens is that: A)you ate a can of spinach from your car. B)your anger started adrenalin to rush through your bloodstream. C)you apply the same force to the wrench but at a longer distance from the nut so the torque is larger. D)you apply the same torque to the wrench, but the force is larger because you can get more leverage.

Explanation / Answer

torque=force*distance ; longer distance gives larger torque with same force ; hence option C is correct
