A mechanic can open a nut by applying a force of 120N while using a lever handle of length 40cm. What is the length of the handle required if he wants to apply the force of only 30N.

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER
ANSWER:-
~•in the first case force applied is
F= 120 N..
and magnitude of perpendicular distance (called the radius vector)
r=40cm...... =40/100m
Torque=120×40/100
~•in the second case force applied is
F=40N
and the length of the radius vector is to be found
r=?
Torque=F×r is the same in the both cases
48=40×r
r=1.2m hence to apply a force of 40 N for the same torque, The mechanic should use a spanner of length 1.2 m.
