Question: Which of the following wedges generates the greatest amount of force.
a.)11" long and 4" high
b.)9" long and 4" high
c.)7" long and 4" high
d.)5" long and 4" high - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a.)11" long and 4" high
Question: You're trying to replace a flat. How much torque are you applying to a wheel nut if
you're applying 40 pounds with a wrench measuring 9"?
a.)4 ft-lb
b.)30 ft-lb
c.)53 ft-lb
d.)360 ft-lb - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔*Torque is calculated by multiplying force (in pounds) and
length (in feet). Thus, 40 pounds multiplied by .75 feet gives us 30 ft-lb of torque.
1 ft=12 in
Divide 9 in by 12 ft=.75ft
b.)30 ft-lb
