Answer 2

If the person inserted a nail with a hammer instead of the screw with the screwdriver, the force applied would be greater, but the distance would be shorter. The correct option is A.

What is force?

The action of push or pull in order to make a body change its state of motion or rest is called Force.

As the force is pressure per unit area. Force is inversely proportional to the area over which force is to applied.

The hammer would take more force to insert the nail. The screw has its helix which is to be inserted and application of force is small.

Thus, the force applied would be greater, but the distance would be shorter.  The correct option is A.
