Question:

Physics Help: Force of lifting the rear side of a car.?

How can you determine it?Use 2,400lbs as an example to work with.I‘m very bad at physics, but very VERY curious to know the answer(and I‘ve done it myself before, so I‘m wondering how much weight I was or needed to have lifted).Any suggestions would be good, even if not 100% correct.ONE rear side of the car.Thanks so much for any help!

Answer:

It's complicated and can't be determined without information like the length of the car and how tall you are but basicly you are speaking of about at least 1000 lbs IF YOU DID IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
ONE rear side of the car? How many rear sides do cars have again? That makes me think you meant something else. If you've lifted the back half of a car, look up the weight of the model, but I doubt you lifted the rear off the ground of a 2,400 lbs car.
