Answer:
It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.
Explanation:
To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.
Work formula:
F = 50N, d = 1.0 m
When you lift something straight up, the angle of the force is 90º
cos(90º) is 0, so there's no work done when you lift the microwave off the ground
F = 50N, d = 1.0 m
When you push the microwave, the angle is 0º and cos(0º) is 1. So there is work done here:
total work = 50 joules
