Why Are There Two Possible Values of x in Similar Shapes Geometry Problems?
A jocular note: I didn't know that "similar" was a mathematical term. Proportional would have appropriate. Unless the intended effect was to turn Thales on his grave with this much ado about nothing.- Patxitxi

High School Why do sails on a boat generate lift perpendicular to the sails?
Eventually all pressure force (not lift) it's decomposed into 2 forces: one (wasted) pushing the water perpendicular to the plane of the rudder and the other pushing the boat in the direction of its plane. Skilled navegation consists in maximizing the force used into movement minimizing the one... -

Undergrad Question about force from a torque arm extension
You are mixing up torque (then bigger C produces more torque) with pressure (compression). See sketch. You need the following (or SIMILAR) if you want to apply more VERTICAL pressure on the SCALE. Then the more length you give to C the more pressure you apply. Note the blue dot must be fixed... -
