Forces acting to cause turning
Once you start looking, you'll see forces causing turning everywhere. Take a look at this pair of examples and try to identify the forces acting to cause turning.
- A fridge door.
- Wash-basin taps.
You might then see how well you can identify levers in everyday situations. (Two to get you started: a crow bar and a bicycle pedal.)
