A hand‑operated seed drill uses a class‑1 lever. The distance from the pivot to the effort point is 0.8 m and the distance from the pivot to the load (seed gate) is 0.2 m. Because of friction, only 90 % of the theoretical output force is actually delivered to the load. The farmer applies a force of 150 N at the effort point. The seed gate requires a minimum force of 600 N to open. (a) Does the lever, accounting for friction, supply enough force? (b) If not, how much additional effort (in newtons) must the farmer apply?

Answer Options

A. No; need about 30 N more
Correct Answer B. No; need about 17 N more
C. No; need about 5 N more
D. Yes; need about 0 N more
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
No; need about 17 N more
