Many vending machines have a label on them warning of the dangers of trying to tip the machine forward. Fortunately, such machines are so heavy that an average person cannot exert a large enough force to tilt the machines. Suppose a hinge is placed along the front part of the machine's base. With this an additional safety feature, the machine is anchored, so that in the event it tips over it rotates around the hinge rather than tilting forward and sliding backwards. This increases the force with which it falls forward. Now suppose that the machine is tilted forward, so that the center of mass has a horizontal position of 0.250 m to the left of the hinge. A horizontal force is applied 1.50 m above the hinge to prevent the machine from tilting further. If the machine weighs 1960 N, what is the magnitude of the applied force?
