A door handle turns about a pivot at one end. A force of 5.0 N is applied at right angles to the handle, 10 cm from the pivot. The latch needs a moment of 0.60 N m to open. Does the door open?
Yes, because the moment applied to the handle is 0.60 N m0.60\ \text{N m}0.60 N m
Yes, because the moment applied to the handle is 0.50 N m0.50\ \text{N m}0.50 N m
No, because the moment applied to the handle is 0.050 N m0.050\ \text{N m}0.050 N m
No, because the moment applied to the handle is 0.50 N m0.50\ \text{N m}0.50 N m
