Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} & F=133 \mathrm{~N} \\ & P=800 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

For the handle $$ \begin{aligned} M_c=\Sigma M_x ; \quad F(0.03) & =4 \\ F & =133 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$ For the blade, $$ \begin{aligned} M_C=\Sigma M_x ; \quad P(0.005) & =4 \\ P & =800 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$
