Does anyone has any documents to prove (law of lever)? Thank you!
The discussion centers on the "Law of Levers," specifically seeking documents and proofs related to its application, such as in the use of hammers. Participants clarify that the law is a specific case of the broader "Principle of Moments," which applies to systems in equilibrium. They emphasize that proving the law involves understanding the equilibrium condition where the net torque is zero, and they provide links to relevant resources, including Wikipedia articles on levers and the principle of virtual work.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators teaching mechanics, engineers involved in design and analysis of lever systems, and anyone interested in the practical applications of the Law of Levers.
There are far fewer keystrokes involved in clicking on Google than in composing a question on PF. I hope you did that first.avast2 said:Summary:: Prove law of lever

wrobel said:the angular momentum theorem is proved in textbooks. "law of lever" is a particular case
What you are showing is not an actual 'proof'. It is an example of where that 'law' applies. The 'Principle of Moments' can be applied (look it up) to situations where there is a fulcrum (pivot) that can be identified and where two or more forces in equilibrium and where they are acting can be identified. See-saws are the easiest examples but the principle can also be applied to a hammer and other wrenches when the geometry of the two forces is not so obvious.avast2 said:I attach pictures ( - the proof that I had ; the kind of lever that I want to search the proof)
This may help:avast2 said:I searched some proof online but actually I want to find the proof of the kind of lever (such as Hammers pull the nails)
Thanh you!
I attach pictures ( - the proof that I had ; the kind of lever that I want to search the proof)
What exactly do you mean by "proof" or "prove" in this context? In physics, you prove theories/laws with experiments, but people tend not to use the word "prove" much. Do you mean a mathematical proof or derivation?avast2 said:I searched some proof online but actually I want to find the proof of the kind of lever (such as Hammers pull the nails)
