just incase you have any more arguments to the contrary of what i said, im going to ask you to solve this problem...the answer will be at the bottom of the post, NO CHEATING!
at a pivot point, there is 500lbs of twisting force acting on a bolt. there is a rod attached to that bolt. at x feet, the weighted force acting on the rod at its farthest end from the pivot is 100 lbs. How long is the rod?
the answer is 5 ft. How do you come to 5 ft? well if you take a look at the problem 500lbs of twisting force is acting on that pivot/bolt. the function of the force applied to the fulcrum operates as a proportional increase along the levers length to the amount of force applied to the lever. in the case of these levers, as distance increases 2 fold, the force applied to the fulcrum is 2 fold. in this case we had 100 lbs acting on the rod/lever, the resultant force acting on the bolt is 500lbs.
you divide 100lbs by 500lbs/ft and get 5ft. for every 1 ft there was 100lbs of force applied. thereby, the resulant functioning force of the rod for torque multiplication would be 100 pound per foot, OR 100lbs/ft.
any more arguments from you will fall on def ears on my end.
