Q. To open a door easily, the handle is fixed at farthest point from hinges. This is mainly because at greater distance from hinges, there is more __:
Answer: Torque
Notes: Since Torque = force x distance, to open a door easily, the handle should be fixed at the greatest distance from the hinges. If we pull with same force on a handle that is 2 feet away from the hinges, we will provide twice the torque, so it will be twice as easy to open.
