The amount of force one exerts on a wrench handle to loosen a bolt is inversely
proportional to the length of the wrench handle. With a wrench 12 inches long
it takes 96 pounds of force to loosen the bolt.
(a) Write the variation function for the force in this situation.
(b) If a person can only exert 60 pounds of force on a wrench, what length
wrench must be used in this situation?

a)

b) l=19.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Let F represent the force and l represents the length of the wrench handle.

Then inverse variation relation is:

When we introduce the variation constant, we get:

From the question when F=96, l=12

The equation is

b) If a person can only exert 60 pounds of force on a wrench,then

Hence the length of the wrench must be 19.2 units

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )

-4
