Figure J ahove represents a cross section of a tahle knife being used to prise off the lid of
acan.
(hj The knife when llsed inthis manner acts as asimple machine. StMethe name ofthe simplemachine.
(c) On Figure 1, (i) indicate the position of the pivot, P, and (ii) draw an an-ow to show the
direction of the force, F, which the knife exerts on the lid. ( 2marks)

(e) Calculate the magnitude of the force, F, which the knife exerts on the lid. (Ignore the mass
of the knife.)
The can exe,ts all upward force at point, T', 011the knife. What isthe value of this force just
before the lid moves?
(g) Htlle force, F, istoo small to lift the lid, suggest TWO changes you might make to increase
the value of F.
