The lid of a can of paint is wedged into the can and surrounded by dried paint. A painter is using a screwdriver to lift it. The friction between the lid and the can, including the weight of the lid and the dried paint, will require 275 ibs of force to overcome it. The fulcrum is 11 inches away from where the painter is applying a downward force to pry open the lid, and the lid is 0.25 inches from the fulcrum. What minimum force will he need to apply to the screwdriver to open the can?
