Question

Mike enters a revolving door that is not moving. explain where and how mike should push to produce a torque with the least amount of force.

Answer 1

Mike enters a revolving door that is not moving. Mike should push at the edge of the door where it is largest distance from the pivot point in order to produce a torque with the least amount of force. Torque is equal to t = force x distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

At the edge of the door

Explanation:

Mike should push the door at the edge because it ould increase the torque since distance is directly proportional to torque

The torque is calculated as product if force and distance so the more he push away from the pivot of the door the more the torque or force he applies
