Please explain all four question
Q.15. Explain the following:
(a) Why is it easier to pull down the branch of a tree from its free end than from anywhere else?
(b) Why do we use a long handle with a screw jack?
(c) Why do we use a long spanner to open a tight nut?
(d) Why is the upper stone of a hand flour grinder provided with a handle near its rim?

Dear Student,

 A nut needs torque to move, which is equal to F.d i.e. a longer distance needs minimum force.
As 
Force =torque/radius. 
As spanner has longer length so less  force is needed
