QUESTION:

Suppose that you can lift no more than \(650 \mathrm{~N}\) (around 150 lb) unaided.

(a) How much can you lift using a \(\text { 1.4-m-long }\) wheelbarrow that weighs

\(80.0 \mathrm{~N}\) and whose center of gravity is \(0.50 \mathrm{~m}\) from the center of the wheel (Fig. E11.16)? The center of gravity of the load carried in the wheelbarrow is also

\(0.50 \mathrm{~m}\)from the center of the wheel.

(b) Where does the force come from to enable you to lift more than \(650 \mathrm{~N}\) using the wheelbarrow?

ANSWER:

Solution 16E

Here we shall have to first calculate  the mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the length of effort arm to that of the load arm.

Here, the length of the effort arm is

Length of the load arm is
