The lug nut on the wheel of the automobile is to be removed using the wrench and applying the vertical force F. Assume that the cheater pipe AB is slipped over the handle of the wrench and the F force can be applied at any point and in any direction on the assembly. Determine if this force is adequate, provided a torque M about the x axis is initially required to turn the nut.

Given:
F1 = 30 N M = 14 N ∙ m a = 0.25 m b = 0.3 m c = 0.5 m d = 0.1 m
