Question: A flywheel must be held from rotating about shaft A while a nut on it is tightened as shown ( in Figures below ) .

A flywheel must be held from rotating about shaft A while a nut on it is tightened as shown (in Figures below).(a) Which position should the wrench be in to have minimum moment about A?(b) Calculate the moment in each case.
A.(a) case (i)
(b)(i)M=-140N0.15m=21N*m, Clockwise and (ii)M=-140N0.65m=91N*m, Clockwise
B.(a) case (ii)
(b)(i)M=-140N0.15m=21N*m, Clockwise and (ii)M=-140N0.65m=91N*m, Clockwise
C.(a) case (ii)
(b)(i)M=140N0.25m=21N*m, Clockwise and (ii)M=-140N0.65m=91N*m, Clockwise
D.(a) case (i)
(b)(i)M=-140N0.35m=49N*m, Anticlockwise and (ii)M=-140N0.25m=35N*m, Anticlockwise
E.(a) case (ii)
(b)(i)M=140N0.15m=21N*m, Anticlockwise and (ii)
M=140N0.65m=91N*m, Anticlockwise
