Question

Using a 2.5 meter long lever, we want to lift a body weighing 15 kilograms. If the lever support so that the pitch of the load is 55 cm, determine the force we must apply to be lift that burden? HURRYYYYY PLEASE ITS A TEST​

Answer 1

F = 668.9N

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula;

m1d1 = m2d2

m1 and m2 are the masses

d1 and d2 are the distances

Substitute;

15 * 2.5 = x * (55/100) [55cm was converted to metres]

37.5 = 0.55x

Swap

0.55x = 37.5

x = 37.5/0.55

x = 68.18kg

Since F = mg

F = 68.18 * 9.81

F = 668.9N

This gives the required force
