Answer to Question 1

The primary function of any lubricant is to prevent metal to metal contact of moving surfaces, whether they are sliding or rolling.

Answer to Question 2

Output work = Output force x Output distance
Output work = 500 lb x 4 ft
Output work = 2000 ft-lbs.

With no friction, Input work equals Output work, therefore:

Input force = Input work / Input distance
Input force = 2000 ft-lbs / 20 feet
Input force = 100 lbs force.

Answer to Question 3

Seesaw, wheelbarrow, and man's arm.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
