Question

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door from the right. They will only see the door move when

Answer 1

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.
