Question:
When cylinder-head bolts in an automobile engine are tightened, the critical quantity is the torque applied to the bolts. Why is the torque more important than the actual force applied to the wrench handle?
Step by Step Answer:
For a same amount of torque applied on a bolt the force needed on a wrench is directly proportio...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
