The moment is the turning effect of a force
Moment = Force x perpendicular distance between line of action
The force on the spanner causes a turning effect or moment on the nut, A larger force would mean a larger moment.
Using a longer spanner, the same force can exert a larger moment because the distance form the pivot is greater.
To get the maximum moment ( or turning effect) you need to push…
