Joe takes his little brother Andy down the the playground for an afternoon out. Andy would like to ride the seesaw, but the difference in their sizes, Joe weights 160lbs and Andy weighs 641lbs, makes this difficult. Joe sees a solution from his engineering class and moves the fulcrum from the middle to a new place. The seesaw is 3.5m long. What is the mechanical advantage of the seesaw BEFORE Joe moves the falcrum to a new place?

A medical technician uses a pair of 0.125m long tweezers to remove a wood sliver from a patient. The technician is applying 5 N of squeezing force to the tweezers. If more than 1/5 lb of force is applied to the sliver, it will break and become difficult to remove. Assume the squeezing force is applied at 90 degrees to the tweezers. What is the mechanical advantage?
