Why the wrenches are offset 15 degrees?

Explanation of Solution

A wrench is a hand tool used to tighten or loosen a fastener by the application of a torque to them by turning the objects. It is also known as spanner.

The wrenches are usually offset 15 degrees because this offset allows a greater range for movement in small enclosed spaces by the flipping of the wrench. This allows the wrench to be used in very narrow places such as the fuel line or the brake line of a vehicle.

CORRECT ANSWER IS ALREADY PROVIDED.  18: Determine the maximum shear and moment that would be experienced by a 10 m beam if a three-wheelmoving load of 10 kN, 30 kN, and 5 kN respectively will pass it by. The distance between the 1st and 2nd load is 1 m and the distance between the 2nd and 3rd load is 3 m.ANS: Vmax = 40 kN ; Mmax = 100.014 kN-m
CORRECT AND DETAILED HANDWRITTEN SOLUTION WITH FBD ONLY. I WILL UPVOTE THANK YOU. CORRECT ANSWER IS ALREADY PROVIDED. 5: A 12-m simply supported bridge is constructed with 100-mm concrete slab deck supported by precastconcrete stringers spaced 800 mm on center. Analyze the stringers when subjected to a moving load consisting of 3 evenly spaced axle loads at 3 m and equivalent to 20 kN, 30 kN and 40 kN respectively. The self-weight of the stringers is 8.5 kN/m and the concrete deck has a unit weight of 24 kN/m3 . Neglect all other superimposed loads. Calculate: (a) the maximum shear force in the stringers; (b) the maximum bending moment in the stringers.  Answer: Vmax = 135.020 KN, Mmax = 477.388 KN-M
