When you use a crowbar to lift a heavy rock which force is bigger the weight of the rock or the force applied to the end of crowbar?

The force applied to the end of the crowbar is bigger than the weight of the rock. By using the crowbar as a lever, you apply a smaller force over a longer distance to lift the heavier rock with a greater force over a shorter distance. This allows you to overcome the weight of the rock more easily.


How can I split a large rock effectively?

To split a large rock effectively, you can use methods such as drilling holes into the rock and then inserting wedges or feathers into the holes. By applying pressure to the wedges, the rock can be split along its natural lines or weaknesses. Another method is using a hydraulic splitter, which exerts force to break the rock apart. It is important to wear appropriate safety gear and follow proper procedures when attempting to split a large rock.


When you use a lever to lift a rock is the output force is represented by the amount of force you apply to the end of the lever?
