Why is it easier to open a door by applying the force at the free end of it.

force F is applied at the topmost point of block of mass M. The force required to topple the block before sliding is (µ = coefficient of friction)

The breadth of an iron door is 2.4 m. If the minimum torque required to open the door is 50 Nm, what is the minimum force required to open the door?

A block of mass m is pulled by a uniform chain of mass m tied to it by applying a force F at the other end of the chain.The tension at a point P which is at a distance of quarter of the length of the chain from the free end,will be

A : It is very difficult to open or close a door if force is applied near the hinge. R : The moment of applied force is minimum near the hinge.

The amount of force to be applied on the spanner at a length of 0.25 m from the bolt is 400 N. Find the torque to open a bolt.

Figure a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at once end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in figure is stretched by the same force F. (a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ? (b) If the mass in figure and the two masses in figure are released free, what is the period of oscillation in each case?
