(Figure 1) shows the operation of a garlic press. The lower part of the press is held steady, and the upper handle is pushed down, thereby crushing a garlic clove through a screen. Approximate distances are shown in the figure. If the user exerts a 10 N
force on the upper handle, estimate the force on the clove.

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, the torque exerted by the user is equal and opposite to the torque exerted by the clove.

∑τ = Iα

(10 N) (12.5 cm) − F (2.5 cm) = 0

F = 50 N
