Question

We place handles at maximum distance from the hinge in a door. Give reason.

Answer 1

In order to get something to rotate, you need to apply torque. Torque is the product of force applied and the distance between where you apply the force and the axis of rotation. In this case, the axis would be the hinge of the door. If you apply a force near the axis of rotation, the torque would be small because the distance is small. If you apply the same force farther away from the axis, the torque is larger. Hence, the door opens easily with less effortplease mark me as brain list
