You are designing a pair of bolt cutters and need to decide how long they need to be. If it takes 1,136 Ibf on the top and bottom of the lock to cut it, and you know that a person can apply 50 lbf, Fp, on the bolt cutters, what must the length, L, of the cutter be in inches? The distance from the pivot to the lock, w, is 1.5 inches. Hint: Draw a free-body diagram of one of the two pieces that are pinned together to make the bolt cutters. K-
