1. You want to use a lever to lift a dumpster that weighs 5200 N. You arrange the lever so that it is approximately horizontal and makes contact below the dumpster's center of mass at a distance of 0.40 m from the lever's pivot. About how much torque will the dumpster exert on the lever?
2. You are positioned 2.50 m away from the pivot on the other side of the lever. With what approximate force must you push down on the lever in order to lift the dumpster?
