A lever like that shown in Figure 5.13(c) is used as a hand lever brake on a machine. To activate the brake, 5 lb of force is required [F1 in Figure 5.13(c)] with a stroke of 1.5 in. The total length of the lever is 36 in., and the distance from F2 to the pivot is 6 in. Find the force and stroke that results at F2
