ocr: How much does a handle help? You can work out how much a handle helps you to turn something by measuring a quantity called a moment. When you push on a handle or any other lever, the moment you produce (in newton meters) is the size of the force (in newtons), multiplied by the distance between the point you apply the force and the fulcrum (in meters). Turning Effect (Moment) = Force X Distance Distance Force Fulcrum The larger the moment you apply toa lever, the more easily it turns. Tap handles only stick out a short way, but far enough for you to apply a force ata distance from the tap's ful ...
