Which of these statements are correct
All main bracings would have more than one bolt on each end
Two diagonal members of one panel would have at least one bolt interconnecting them
Redundants have only one bolt on both ends

the tool to be used for checking the tightening is called torque wrench
the torque requied for a M16 - 5.6 grade is same as M16 - 6.8 grade
the torque required for a bolt of different length would be different even if the grade and
dia are same
