You've got a flat tire. To lift your car, you make a homemade lever (see the figure (Figure 1)). A very light 1.6-m-long handle part is pushed down on the right side of the fulcrum and a 0.050-m-long part on the left side supports the back of the car. How hard must you push down on the handle so that the lever exerts an 6900- N force to lift the back of the car?

How hard you must push down on the handle is by applying a force of 215.63 N

The moment of a force about a point is the turning effect of the force about that point.

The moment of a force M = Fd where

Now, for you to lift up the car, the moment due to your force about the fulcrum, M equals the moment due to the force on back of car. M'

M = M'

FD = F'd where

Making F subject of the formula,we have

F = F'd/D

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation,we have

F = F'd/D

F = 6900 N × 0.050 m/1.6 m

F = 345 Nm/1.6 m

F = 215.625 N

F ≅ 215.63 N

So, how hard you must push down on the handle is by applying a force of 215.63 N

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
