A door 1.2 mwide requires a force of \(1 \mathrm{~N}\) to be applied perpendicular at the free end to open or close it. The perpendicular force required at a point 0.2 mdistant from the hinges for opening or closing the door is

  1. A \(2.4 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(3.6 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(6.0 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(1.2 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6.0 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tau\) torque required to open/close the door will remain constant.
\(\begin{aligned} & \tau=r_1 \times F_1=r_2 \times F_2 \\ & 1.2 \times 1=0.2 \times F_2 \\ & \Rightarrow F_2=6 \mathrm{~N}\end{aligned}\)
