Two Torque Technicians are discussing the torque wrench set-up in the picture. Torque Technician A states the torque wrench setting will have to be increased to compensate for the use of the socket extension Torque Technician B states the torque wrench setting will have to be decreased to compensate for the use of the socket extension. Who is correct? Techrician A Technician B Both Technician Aand Technician B Neither Technician Anor Technician B

The question is about the effect of using a socket extension on the torque wrench setting. Torque Technician A suggests that the torque wrench setting should be increased when using a socket extension. This is incorrect because the socket extension does not change the amount of torque applied by the wrench; it only changes the direction of the force. Torque Technician B suggests that the torque wrench setting should be decreased when using a socket extension. This is also incorrect for the same reason as above. Therefore, neither Technician A nor Technician B is correct.
