Extending a winch handle
Discussion
I have a winch with a handle that is 300mm from the axis of the drum.
If I extend the length by 75mm, so that the distance between the handle and the axis of the drum is now 375mm, by what percentage, will I decrease the force necessary to turn the drum under the same load?
Is the answer 25%?
