How do you figure torque multiplication on a radius.
Such as a cheater pipe.
With and estimated 2 foot rise and set back about 2 foot that looks to be about a 4 foot radius from where the trailer
hooks to where the class 3 hitch begins.
Using a 4 foot radius I got to believe the tongue weight force has to be 4 to 5 times normal tongue weight especially in a
take off or stop situation.
Best part is he will be scratching his head trying to figure out what happened when this setup rips that class 3 hitch
right out from under that truck.
