A pry bar is often used as a first class lever, where you apply your input force on one end of the lever, the output force is taken at the other end of the lever and the fulcrum (the pivot point) is somewhere in the middle. What is the amount of the output force generated (in N) if an input force of 35.8 N is applied at a distance of 37.1 cm away from the fulcrum and the output force is taken at a point that is 3.03 cm away from the fulcrum?

To calculate the output force generated we can use the principle of moments which states t... View the full answer
