In order to lift a shovelful of dirt, a gardener pushes downward on the end of the shovel and pulls upward at distance l2 from the end, as shown below. The weight of the shovel is mg and acts at the point os application of F2 . Calculate the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 as functions of l1 , l2 , mg, and the weight W of the load. Why do your answers not depend on the angle that shovel makes with the horizontal?
Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 17.5 N at a distance of 0.600 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.450 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? Assume friction is negligible.

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?
