Answer:

effort required to lift the box off the ground using a 3m long lever=2N

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given

force required,F=10N

mass of box.m=10kg

length of lever, l=3m

distance between fulcrum and box,d=.5m

effort required to lift the box off the ground using a 3m long lever=?

Here,

Effort required to lift the box off the ground using a 3m long lever
* (3m-0.5m) =F * 0.5m

Effort required to lift the box off the ground using a 3m long lever
* (3m-0.5m) =10N * 0.5m

Effort=
(10* 0.5)/(3-0.5)

Effort=2N
