What would you tell the person who is trying to loosen the rusty nut with the wrench?

Apply more force
Move closer to the nut
Move your hand farther from the nut
Use a different wrench

The correct answer is: Move your hand farther from the nut

When attempting to loosen a rusty nut with a wrench, it may seem logical to use more force or move closer to the nut. However, this can actually make the process more difficult. Applying more force may risk damaging the nut or the tool, while moving closer to the nut can limit the range of motion and make it harder to turn the wrench. Using a different wrench may also be ineffective if the nut is particularly stubborn. The most effective solution is to move your hand farther from the nut, allowing for a wider range of motion and better leverage to loosen the rusted nut.
