Answer:

2 meters away from were force is applied

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are REMOVING it then it would clearly be MOVING AWAY and it would also clearly be moving AWAY from where FORCE was applied

Goodluck ;)

Just in case you didnt get the point the A or the first one is the answer again-

Goodluck ;)

Answer:

Move the fulcrum 2 meters away from the side on which the force is applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

To double the mechanical advantage of the lever what we have to do is move the fulcrum of the lever away from the center and close to the side where the load is, by doing this, we are making the effort arm larger and multiplying the resistance that the lever can lift with the same effort.
