Let's revisit the calculation together. To find the force exerted on the can by the can crusher, we need to calculate the torque due to the applied force P. The torque is given by the formula τ = P * L * sin(θ), where P is the force, L is the lever arm length, and θ is the angle between the lever arm and the horizontal.

Given that P = 179 N, L = 350 mm = 0.35 m, and θ = 30 degrees, we can plug these values into the formula to find the torque. After calculating the torque, we can then determine the force exerted on the can by the can crusher. Let's work through the calculation step by step to ensure we get the correct answer together
