Homework Statement
If the load placed in the wheel barrow weighs 20 N and is 40 cm
from the wheel, what force must be applied to the handles at a
distance of 120 cm in order to balance the load?
Homework Equations
Tau = F r Sin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
Im really just guessing on how to do this, but here's my attempt..
Tau of load = (20N)(0.4m)Sin90
= 8N
therefore,
8N = (F)(1.2m)Sin90
6.67N = F --> Thats my answer
