Question

What is the effort force of a lever with a force advantage of 2, if the lifting force is 10 newtons?

Feffort = Flifting / FA
Select one:
O a. 20 newtons
O b. 5 newtons
O c. 8 newtons
O d. 12 newtons

Answer 1

The effort force of the lever is 5 newtons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effort force of a lever with a force advantage of 2 can be calculated by dividing the lifting force by the force advantage. In this case, the lifting force is 10 newtons and the force advantage is 2. So, the effort force can be calculated as:

Feffort = Flifting / FA

Feffort = 10 newtons / 2

Feffort = 5 newtons

Therefore, the effort force of the lever is 5 newtons.
