Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Agricultural Science Question 3
Practice objective / multiple choice question 3 from the 2025 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A hand hoe has a total handle length of 1.2 m. The farmer applies a force at the end of the handle to lift a soil load of 150 N that is located 0.2 m from the blade pivot (the opposite end of the handle). The fulcrum (pivot) can be placed anywhere along the handle but must be at least 0.1 m away from the load point. Determine the position of the fulcrum measured from the effort end that minimises the required effort force, and state that minimum effort (in newtons, to one decimal place).
