A bolt is tightened using a wrench. A force of F = 190 N is applied to the end of the wrench perpendicular to its handle. The distance from the bolt axis to the point where the force is applied is l = 190 mm.
1. Determine the bolt tightening torque in N·m.
1. Tightening torque M, N·m
2. Another bolt must be tightened to a torque of 112 N·m. The maximum force that can be applied perpendicular to the wrench is 320 N. Determine the minimum required wrench length in mm.
2. Minimum wrench length l, mm
