Which would be the better choice for driving a screw into a board a long screwdriver with a narrow handle or a short screwdriver with a wide handle?

Long screw driver with a narrow handle would give the most torque, therefor it would be best It would also depend on the blade of the screw driver. The blade should fit well into the slot in the screw so if the long screw driver with the narrow handle had a small narrow blade that was too small for the screw then another one would be better.


Why do wheelbarrows that are used to lift heavy things have longer handles?

Because longer handles distribute weight more evenly, as apposed to shorter handles which are for lighter objects that don't require the same weight distribution.add. And the length between the handles and the wheel axle may be considered as a lever, with the load carried in between.[note. Chinese wheelbarrows of old used to have the wheel under the load, which makes for a more maneuverable wheelbarrow, but suited really to smooth country.]
