Given information
We are given that:-
The force is applied at a distance of from the pivot.
The force required to pull the cork out of the top the range of to .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The bottle opener will pull upward on the cork with a force of magnitude , so there is a downward force on the opener of magnitude .
We assume that there is no net torque on the opener, so it has no angular acceleration. Calculate torques about the rim of the bottle where the opener is resting on the rim.
Formula used:
The net torque,
Here, is the applied force and represents its corresponding distance from the rotational axis.
