Question

Why do we place handles at maximum possible distance from the hinges in a door?

Answer 1

work = distance × force
So if the distance from the hinge increases, the amount of force to be applied decreases.
Hence, The handles of the door are placed at the maximum distances from the door.
If they were placed near the force to be applied would have been very large.


Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer: work=distance X force

Explanation:

So if the distance from the hinge increases, the amount of force to be applied decreases.

Hence, The handles of the door are placed at the maximum distances from the door.

If they were placed near the force to be applied would have been very large.
