This is an extremely complicated question that I have been trying to solve by myself for quite some time, but I cannot find enough information on the topic at hand so hopefully I can get an answer here.
A 130lb object is lifted with the right arm, the arm is outstretched 30inches away from the body. The object being lifted is 70 inches in height and is currently on the floor. The object will be grasped with the right hand at 63 inches from the floor. How much force would it take to lift the object off the ground? How much force would be exerted on the lower back?
How much force would it take to lift the object off the ground?
Boo I'd suppose 130 lb
Maybe you've somehow misstated the q

@Boo Roars,
Object weighs what it weighs.
Would be 1/6 lighter on the 'non-spinning' moon.
Other factors of leverage depend on arm length, height, back structure and environmental dynamics.
What a twat of a question!
You a yank?
