Gce Model Questions Vol1 2022 Agricultural Science Question 45
Practice objective / multiple choice question 45 from the 2022 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A hand hoe has a handle length of 1.2 m and the distance from the pivot (hand grip) to the blade is 0.2 m. The soil resistance acting on the blade is 150 N. The farmer applies a force at the end of the handle making an angle of 45° with the handle (i.e., the force is not perpendicular to the handle). Assuming the force is transmitted as a torque about the pivot, calculate the magnitude of the force the farmer must exert, in newtons, to overcome the soil resistance.
