The specific torque loading for a bolt is 50 lbs.ins but an extension of 2 is needed to reach the bolt in addition to the 8 torque wrench. What will the actual reading?
- 40 lb.ins.
- 54 lb.ins.
- 60 lb.ins.
Explanation
When an extension lengthens the wrench, the dial reading is the specified torque multiplied by the wrench length divided by the total length. That is 50 x 8/(8+2) = 50 x 8/10 = 40 lb.ins.

Hello.
New torque reading = desired torque x L/(x + L). 50 x 8/10 = 40 lb.ins
New torque reading = desired torque x L/(x + L). 50 x 8/10 = 40 lb.ins
