magoo -

The essence of torque multiplication is in the "ft/lbs" expression. 1 lb of force applied at 1' from the axis = 1 ft/lb of torque. 5 lbs of force applied at 12' = 60 ft/lbs of torque.

So, the answer to your question is - yes, they're the same torque value. And I don't think I want to discuss that any further, either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
