Question

(a) What force does each side of the nutcracker shown in Figure 5.32 exert on a nut 3.00 cm from the pivot? The hand exerts a perpendicular force of 47.5 N on each side at a distance of 10.0 cm from the pivot.
N
(b) What is the total force on the nut? (No calculations are necessary for this part.)
N

What force does each side of the nutcracker shown in Figure 5.32 exert on a nut 3.00 cm from the pivot? The hand exerts a perpendicular force of 47.5 N on each side at a distance of 10.0 cm from the pivot. What is the total force on the nut? (No calculations are necessary for this part.)

Explanation / Answer

= 47.5 * 10 / 3 =158.33 N


Total Force = 316.67 N
