Beverage engineering. The pull tab was a major advance in the engineering design of beverage containers. The tab pivots on a central bolt in the can’s top.When you pull upward on one end of the tab, the other end presses downward on a portion of the can’s top that has been scored. If you pull upward with a 10 N force, what force magnitude acts on the scored section? (You will need to examine a can with a pull tab.)
A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight.
If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2.

W 20.0° with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted
by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page
and passing through the angler's hand if the fish pulls
on the fishing line with a force F - 100 N at an angle

A 32kg child walks on the board to 1.4 m beyond the right support when the board start to tip. a.) Find the mass of the board b.) Then he walks back 0.40m and stands still. Find the forces exerted by the supports at this time. (use the mass found in part a). Please be detailed of how this works. Its a harder problem for me to understand. Thank you!arrow_forward
