Question 8

A repairer uses a light, horizontal lever to raise a hatch. The lever can turn about a pivot. A downward effort of 42 N acts 0.70 m to the left of the pivot. The hatch exerts a downward force of 160 N on the lever, 0.20 m to the right of the pivot.

Calculate the moment due to each force about the pivot and state which way the lever starts to turn.
