In most cases a longer tool allows for more leverage, which reduces the force necessary. It may also allow one to get more momentum, which can reduce force.

Which lever used more force to lift the load but moved the hand a longer distance?

A longer lever would require less force to lift the load but would move the hand a longer distance. On the other hand, a shorter lever would require more force to lift the load but would move the hand a shorter distance.


Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?

Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.


What a reason why it may be advantageous to have a shorter forearm when lifting a heavy weight?

The only reason I can think of that would explain shorter forearms would give a weight lifter an advantage would be a shorter range of motion. Someone with shorter arms wouldn't have to push weight as far to reach lockout as someone who has longer arms. At the same time, longer arms could prove useful in allowing for greater leverage or momentum. Either way, the only real advantage I would be able to see would be that someone with shorter arms would have less distance to move the weight. Thank You really much!!

Would a year on the planets take longer or shorter then an earth year explain?

It depends on the planet. The planets orbiting closer to the sun than earth (Mercury and Venus) have shorter years, because they have smaller orbits, and travel faster. The planets further from the sun (Mars, Jupier, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have longer years because they have larger orbits and travel slower.

Longer. The higher elevation causes the boiling point to decrease. Cook longer at higher elevations.
