A farmer lifts a sack of grain weighing \(150\) kg onto a platform \(1.2\) m high using a first‑class lever. The effort arm is \(0.8\) m and the load arm is \(0.2\) m. The farmer pushes on the effort arm at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) below the horizontal.\n\n(i) Determine the magnitude of the force the farmer must apply (in newtons).\n(ii) If the effort end moves vertically through a distance of \(0.30\) m during the lift, calculate the work done by the farmer's muscles (in joules).\nAssume \(g=9.81\;\text{m s}^{-2}\) and neglect friction.

Answer Options

A. Force ≈ 650 N; work ≈ 190 J.
B. Force ≈ 900 N; work ≈ 300 J.
C. Force ≈ 820 N; work ≈ 250 J.
Correct Answer D. Force ≈ 736 N; work ≈ 221 J.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Force ≈ 736 N; work ≈ 221 J.
