Calculate the required force to produce a 2,000 ft-lbs torque using wrench with a 48 inch handle. Assume the distance between the socket and grip to be 48 inches.

What will be an ideal response?


Force supplied by the tool operator is given by the equation: F = T/L
F = 2,000 ft-lbs/4 feet = 500 pounds force
