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.
