ICSE Class 8 Answered
The main gate of building is 2.6 metre broad it can be open by applying a force of 80 Newton at the middle of a calculate the least force which can open the gate

Expert Answer
The force applied at the middle of gate = 80 N
The distance of gate from hinge = 2.6 m
The distance at which the 80 N of force is applied = 2.6/2 = 1.3 m
The minimum force will be required if the force is applied at the free end of the gate = 2.6 m
Thus, by principle of moments
F1 x d1 = F2 x d2
80 x 1.3 = F2 x 2.6
Thus, F2 = (80 x 1.3)/2.6 = 40 N
Thus, least force which can open the door is 40 N
