When checking a torque wrench 15 inches long, the load required to give torque of 120 lbs.in. is
- 6 lbs.
- 8 lbs.
- 10 lbs.
Explanation from PART66Online
Torque equals force multiplied by lever length, so the load needed is the torque divided by the arm: 120 lb.in divided by 15 in gives 8 lb. Applying an 8 lb load at the 15-inch effective length therefore produces exactly the 120 lb.in checking torque.

I have a question on how we do this calculation? Thanks

torque = force * lever(distance)
120 = x * 15
x = 120 / 15
x = 8
120 = x * 15
x = 120 / 15
x = 8
