Re: Pinning a Mechanism
Depends on the pin. You'd have to overcome the force of friction, which is the perpendicular force (200lbs in this case) times the coefficient of friction. If you can make the coefficient of friction small (by using slippery materials) then it should not take too much force to pull the pin.
