Dynamics: moment of force 0001

To tighten a wheel nut we must apply a force of 45 N on a wrench that is 18 cm in length. What moment of force is applied to the nut? If we had a wrench 28 cm in length: More or less force it would be neccesary to tighten the nut properly? What force would be required?

Solution:

\bf M = 8.1\ N\cdot m ; \bf F = 28.93\ N

(We need less force in the second case)
