question 3
a mechanic applies 12.6 ft-lbs of torque to a bolt. convert this to in-lbs.
blank in-lbs.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, to convert torque from foot - pounds (ft - lbs) to inch - pounds (in - lbs), we use the conversion factor: 1 ft - lb = 12 in - lbs.

Step2: Multiply the given torque by the conversion factor

The given torque is 12.6 ft - lbs. To convert it to in - lbs, we multiply 12.6 by 12.
\[12.6\times12 = 151.2\]

Answer:

151.2
