That would depend on various factors: the lever's length, width and thickness, its material, and whether it has any defects.

The amount of force a lever can withstand before it snaps depends on various factors such as the material it is made of, its dimensions, and the distribution of load. Generally, levers are designed to handle specific loads based on engineering calculations and safety factors to prevent failure. High-strength materials and proper construction can increase the force a lever can support before breaking.

THE distance from the fulcrum to the resistance force in a lever is called the?

The distance from the fulcrum to the resistance force in a lever is called the load arm or effort arm. This measurement helps determine the mechanical advantage of the lever system and how much force is needed to balance or move a load.


Does a lever do as much work on the load as you do on the lever?

yes, because when we pull or push the lever it applies the same force as applied by us and then after the same displacement occours.


What is The amount of force needed to move a lever of a given length?

That depends on the weight of the load on the other end, the material of which the lever is constructed, and how much of the lever is on each side of the pivot.


Is 150 pound-feet of torque much different from 100 pound-feet?

for a given lever length the force is (150 / 100) times greater torque = force (pounds) * lever length (feet)


How much force to lift 200Kg by 10mm with a 0.50m bar?

To calculate the force required to lift 200kg by 10mm using a lever arm of 0.50m, you can use the formula for a lever: Force x Lever arm = Weight x Distance. Rearranging the formula: Force = (Weight x Distance) / Lever arm. Substituting the values, the force required would be (200kg x 10mm) / 0.50m = 4000 N.


What is the fixed point which a lever rotates?

The fixed point around which a lever rotates is called the fulcrum. The position of the fulcrum determines the mechanical advantage of the lever, which affects how much force is required to move an object.


When do you change the timing belt on a 3.5v6 Saturn vue 2004?

At or before 100,000 miles if snaps it will cause much damage.


Do levers change the direction or the size of the force?

Levers change the direction of the force applied. By applying force at one point on the lever, it can be used to move an object at a different point. The length of the lever and the placement of the pivot point determine how much force is needed to move the object.


Does a simple machine increase the distance at the expense of a force?

YES. The long end of a Lever travels much further with light force, than the short end with more force.


Does a lever pivots on a point known as a fulcrum?

Yes, a lever pivots on a point known as a fulcrum. The distance between the fulcrum and the effort applied on the lever determines how much force is needed to move an object.


Is a screwdriver a lever yes or no?

A lever works on the principle of using torque. A screw driver is used as a lever because the relatively broader handle produces much more torque for the same force as compared to the narrower blade of the screw driver.


How do you take of a gear knob of a vauxhall vectra 06?

It's a press-fit onto the lever. Generally it takes so much force to pull/twist it off the lever that the mechanism lower down holding the lever in place will break before you pull/twist hard enough to remove the knob. To remove it to replace it with a different knob, use a hack-saw, and cut it in half, taking care not to cut the lever or other items.
