• it is in static equilibrium.
• it is rotating.
• it is translating.

A construction worker is worried about applying too much torque to a bolt using his wrench.  What could he do to reduce his torque on the bolt?

• Increase the length of the wrench
• Increase the force on wrench
• Reduce the length of the wrench
• Reduce the friction between the bolt and wrench
