Question

The lug nut on the wheel of the automobile it to be removed using the wrench The cheater pipe AB is slipped over the handle of the wrench and a force of F = 32 N can be applied at any point and in any direction on the assembly (Figure I) Determine the magnitude of the moment of the force about the x axis if it is applied downward at point B Express your answer to three significant figures and Include the appropriate units. Determine if the force is adequate, provided 14 N midpoint m of torque about the x axis is Initially required to turn the nut no yes Determine the greatest possible magnitude of the moment of the force about the x axis Express your answer to three significant figures and Include the appropriate units

Explanation / Answer

a] Mx = Fd sin theta = 32*[0.5+0.25]*4/5 = 19.2 Nm

c] when Force is perpendicular to d vector.

Mx =  32*[0.5+0.25]*1 = 24 Nm
