A) You are trying to lift a woolly mammoth (5000 kg). You put a long piece of metal under the mammoth and place a large rock 2 m from the mammoth to serve as a fulcrum. You can supply about 2000 N of force. How far away from the fulcrum will you have to apply your force?
b) With the answer in part a), what is the practical issue with this answer (think about how a long thin rod behaves mechanically)? What might you do to be able to lift the mammoth, if you have friends to help? Be specific.
