Fig 8.1
Explain why it is better to push the spanner at B rather than at A.
(The arrows marked A and B show the direction of the applied
forces.)
[1]
(ii) A force of 120 N is applied at B. Calculate the moment of this force
about the centre of the bolt.

(ii)
Moment of force =
.Nm [2]
The nut and bolt are so rusty that the nut cannot be turned. What
effect may
be produced on the nut and bolt by the application of the
force?
