I need to lift a large engine block but at my age, I can only create 160lbs of force. I will build a lever to assist me. The fulcrum is placed 1.5 ft away from the 575lb block. How far away will i need to be from the fulcrum to achieve movement of the block?

Concept explainers

Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.

A gas syringe is being heated and the piston begins to be move outwards and eventually stops. Explain. Upon heating, the gas pressure increases to more than that of the atmospheric pressure. As a result, a resultant force acts outwards which pushes the piston outwards. As the piston moves outwards, the volume of the cylinder increases, causing the gas pressure to decrease. When the gas pressure drops back to a value equal to that of atmospheric pressure, there will be no more resultant outward force and the piston will stop being pushed out.
Joe takes his little brother Andy down the the playground for an afternoon out. Andy would like to ride the seesaw, but the difference in their sizes, Joe weights 160lbs and Andy weighs 641lbs, makes this difficult.
