It is important to remember that the distance (d) is the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force (see diagram). A force of 15 N is applied to a door handle, 12 cm from ...
Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with a ...
