Assuming the pivot is positioned at a 90-degree angle and ignoring friction, it would take a 100-pound force applied at the end of a 1-foot-long lever arm to lift 100 pounds. This is based on the principle of torque, where the force applied multiplied by the distance from the pivot point determines the weight that can be lifted.
To calculate the foot-pounds required to lift a weight, multiply the weight in pounds by the distance in feet. In this case, lifting 1500 pounds a distance of 60 inches (which is 5 feet) would require 1500 pounds * 5 feet = 7500 foot-pounds of work.
It would take thousands of balloons to lift up the average house, as houses are heavy and balloons can only lift a small amount of weight. The exact number of balloons required would depend on the size and weight of the house, but it would be an impractical and unsafe way to try to lift a house.
Assuming one party balloon can lift about 14 grams, it would take approximately 129 party balloons to lift 64 pounds. However, this is a rough estimate as variables such as balloon size, air temperature, and altitude can affect the lifting capacity.
it is proven that you can lift your weight or more And you can push nearly 2 times more with your legs!
