Can crushers help us recycle in a space efficient way which is good for saving the earth and for giving you more room in your apartment. Let us model the illustrated crusher as a planar mechanism that is subjected to the pushing force on the lower "L-shaped" handle, i. e. link CDE. Note that link CDE is one solid piece, pinned at D and E. Knowing that the orange horizontal member has a square peg at that slides vertically in the slot on the blue frame, that the can is centered under the pin at and that N, , , mm, mm, mm, and mm, determine the force magnitude in N exerted on the can from the mechanism.
