To obtain a given moment of force for turning a body, the force needed can be decreased by:
- applying the force at the pivoted point.
- applying the force very close to the pivoted point.
- applying the force farthest from the pivoted point.
- none of the above.

Answer
Applying the force farthest from the pivoted point.
Reason — Larger the perpendicular distance of the point at which the force is applied from the pivoted point, less force is needed to obtain a given moment of force for turning a body.
