Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The brake torque produced at the S-camshaft can be calculated using the formula: Torque = Force x Distance. In this case, the force is 1000 pounds and the distance (lever arm length) is 6 inches, which needs to be converted to feet for consistency in units (6 inches = 0.5 feet). Therefore, the torque is 1000 pounds * 0.5 feet = 500 lb-ft.
