Question

A thief sneaked into John’s house. As he opened the door, the door makes a
squeaking noise. The noise alerted John and the thief was caught. Suggest one
method to reduce this squeaking sound.

Answer 1

Answer:

By lubricating it.

Explanation:

Here the squeaking sound is produced due to the friction and the roughness of the door. The friction between the hinges of the door is very high that it is producing the squeaking sound.

One way to reduce the sound of it is to lubricant it. By applying oil to its hinges the friction becomes less as the surface becomes smooth, as oil reduces the interlocking of the surface between the hinges.
