Physicus Hints
How do I get in the house?
1 of 5: You can't go in the front door. There must be another way...
2 of 5: Around to the right is a cellar, but it's blocked by an 18kg barrel. If you could just hang something from that magnet. Read the Mechanics section on your laptop about pulleys.
3 of 5: The pulleys reduce the force needed to raise the barrel to a third (three support ropes).
4 of 5: The barrel weighs 18 kg, so you need a 6 kg weight, and to use the magnet with it, it should be metal.
