Answer:
With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque.
Explanation:
We need to complete the description of the problem, searchin in internet we have:
"Sometimes, even with a wrench, one cannot loosen a nut that is frozen tightly to a bolt. It is often possible to loosen the nut by slipping one end of a long pipe over the wrench handle and pushing at the other end of the pipe. With the aid of the pipe, does the applied force produce a smaller torque, a greater torque, or the same torque on the nut?"
With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque, as it increases the distance or radius of torque.
We know that torque is defined, as the product of force by distance, in this way we have:
T = F * d
where:
T = torque [N*m]
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
We can see in the above equation, that increasing the distance increases torque proportionally.
Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)
so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J
I = E / R
If the resistors are in series, the current is 0.3 Amperes.
If the resistors are in parallel, the current is 1.25 Amperes.
