For rotational equilibrium of the door we can say that torque due to weight of the door must be counter balanced by the torque of external force

here weight will act at mid point of door so its distance is half of the total distance where force is applied
here we know that

now we will have


so our applied force is 72.5 N
I think it's 3. within an outer arm
No it shouldn't, a hypothesis doesn't need to be correct but must have an idea for why x variable effects y variable and have good reasoning. In the conclusion you should state if it's correct or not and explain why it's correct/incorrect and what answer you've determined from data.
The correct answer is to dissipate energy. Each step in any energy conversion process will dissipate energy. The energy conversion is the process in which a form of energy is being converted into a new or another form of energy.
