$10 \sqrt{2}$

In order to simplify a radical, we consider the factors of the number inside of the radical. If any of these factors are perfect squares, meaning that their square root is a whole number, then we can simplify the radical. We know that 16 and 2 are factors of 32. We know that 16 is a perfect square, so we simplify: $5/2 \sqrt{16} \sqrt{2}=10 \sqrt{2}$
