Question

How can I calculate the torque in ft/lbs I am able to exert on a 6" pipe with a 60" ridgid pipe wrench?

Answer 1

each pound you place at the outer most end of that ridged wrench is multiplied by the length of the wrench

if you weigh two hundred pounds and put your whole weight on it there. it will be two hundred time the five foot length of wrench IE...1000 pounds
