The force applied to lift the crate is 171 N
Explanation:
The lever works on the principle of equilibrium of moments, so we can write:
where
is the force in input
is the arm of the input force
is the output force
is the arm of the output force
For the lever in this problem, we have:
(force applied)
Solving the equation for , we find the force applied to lift the crate:

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions
As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.
So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors
so we can say
here given that
now we will plug in all data in the above equation
so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor
