FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Firstly, the given unit of measurement, inch-pounds, indicates that the torque value is calculated by multiplying force (in pounds) by distance (in inches), meaning a measurement in inch-pounds is already equivalent to foot-pounds. Therefore, the correct conversion from 440 inch-pounds to foot-pounds is simply 440/12 = 36.6 foot-pounds. Option B, 45 foot-pounds, is incorrect as it is a larger conversion than the correct answer of 36.6 foot-pounds. Option C, 55 foot-pounds, is also incorrect as it is an even larger conversion than option B and still not the correct answer. Option D, 60 foot-pounds, is incorrect as it is an even larger conversion than the previous options and still not the correct answer.
