KCET2009PhysicsRotational Motion
A door 1.6 ~m wide requires a force of 1 ~N to be applied at the free end to open or close it. The force that is required at a point 0.4 ~m distance from the hinges for opening or closing the door is
Options
- A1.2 ~N
- B3.6 ~N
- C2.4 ~N
- D4 ~N
Correct answer
D. 4 ~N
Step-by-step solution
Here, torque =1.6 1=1.6 ~N - m So, when d=0.4 ~m , F = d = 1.6 0.4 =4 ~N
