A farmer uses a first‑class lever hoe to break compacted soil. The effort arm (distance from the fulcrum to the point where the farmer applies force) is 1.2 m and the load arm (distance from the fulcrum to the soil resistance) is 0.3 m. The soil offers a resistance of 800 N. (a) Calculate the effort force the farmer must apply. (b) If the farmer can exert at most 250 N, determine the minimum effort‑arm length required (keeping the load arm unchanged) to overcome the soil resistance.

Answer Options

A. a) 160 N; b) minimum effort arm = 1.00 m
Correct Answer B. a) 200 N; b) minimum effort arm = 0.96 m
C. a) 267 N; b) minimum effort arm = 0.90 m
D. a) 200 N; b) minimum effort arm = 0.75 m
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
a) 200 N; b) minimum effort arm = 0.96 m
