Final answer:

To increase torque when loosening a nut with a wrench, extend the lever arm, apply the force parallel to the lever arm, and use a larger force.


Explanation:

To increase the amount of torque produced when trying to loosen a nut with a wrench that doesn't rotate, you should:

  1. Extend the lever arm
  2. Apply the force parallel to the lever arm
  3. Apply a larger force

By following these actions, you can maximize the torque applied to the nut, making it easier to loosen.
