For the nutcracker shown in the figure, determine the force each side of the nut

Question

For the nutcracker shown in the figure, determine the force each side of the nutcracker exerts on a nut 2.50 cm from the pivot. The hand exerts a force of 55.5 N on each side at a distance of 12.5 cm from the pivot. (Assume the nut's position does not change.) In N For the nutcracker shown in the figure, determine the force each side of the nutcracker exerts on a nut 2.50 cm from the pivot. The hand exerts a force of 55.5 N on each side at a distance of 12.5 cm from the pivot. (Assume the nut's position does not change.) In N In N

Explanation / Answer

(a) force each side = hand force*distance from the pivot / distance nutcracker exerts on a nut from the pivot

F = 55.5N*12.5cm / 2.5cm = 277.5 N
