Where do you apply force in a broom?

Consider what you feel when you use a broom to sweep a floor. You need to use the muscles in both arms. Since the hands are in contact with the broom this is where you are applying force to the broom. Note that the top hand often remains relatively stationary and can act more or less as a pivot, but generally speaking you need to apply two forces in the direction you are sweeping. These forces are resisted by the friction between the broom and the floor.
