APPLICATION In Example A, you learned that the force in newtons needed to open a door is inversely proportional to the distance in centimeters from the hinge. For a heavy freezer door, the constant of variation is 935 N-cm. a. Find the force needed to open the door by pushing at points 15 cm, 10 cm, and 5 cm from the hinge. b. Describe what happens to the force needed to open the door as you push at points closer and closer to the hinge. How does the change in force needed compare as you go from 15 cm to 10 cm and from 10 cm to 5 cm? c. How is your answer to 7b shown on the graph of this equation?
