To open a door easily, the handle should be fixed
-
- near the hinges
- away from mid-point opposite to hinges
- in the middle
- None of these
- near the hinges
Correct Option: D
Since Torque = force x distance, to open a door easily, the handle should be fixed at the greatest distance from the hinges. If we pull with same force on a handle that is 2 feet away from the hinges, we will provide twice the torque, so it will be twice as easy to open.
