If you drag a log across the road, one way to reduce the amount of force needed to pull it would be to
__________.

  1. use a thicker rope
  2. pull harder
  3. cross at an angle
  4. lubricate the road

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

If you drag a log across the road, one way to reduce the amount of force needed to pull it would be to lubricate the road.
Two things contribute to the force needed to pull the log across the road: the weight (mass) of the log itself, and the friction between the log and the road.
Lubricating the road will reduce the friction and therefore reduce the force needed to pull the log across the road.
