tightening torque question for engineers:

Or anyone else that knows. (Not guessing). I have a bolt that needs to be tightened to 260+ lbs./ft. I do not have a torque wrench that goes that high, nor the strength to pull it that hard if it did.

If a 200 lb. man stands on a 1 ft. long breaker bar, is that 200 ft./lbs? How heavy would he have to be on a 2 ft. bar for 260 lbs.? A 3 ft. bar? Better yet, what is the formula?

TIA.
