Wrench force calculation

We used a force of 85 N to loosen the nut when using a 20 cm long wrench. How much force do we use to loosen the nut when using a 10 cm long wrench?

Final Answer:

F2 =  170 N

Step-by-step explanation:

r1=20 cm m=20:100  m=0.2 m F1=85 N r2=10 cm m=10:100  m=0.1 m  M1=M2 r1   F1 = r2   F2  F2=r2r1 F1=10151 85=170 N
