Kelly's spring scale indicates that it takes 4.9 newtons of force to lift the mass directly.
With the lever, she plans to add masses to the right side until it is able to lift the 500-gram mass 10 cm.
Consider the location of the lever's fulcrum. When Kelly has added enough mass to the right side, she should expect the downward force exerted on the right side of the lever to be
A.
equal to 500 grams.
B.
less than 4.9 newtons.
C.
equal to 4.9 newtons.
D.
greater than 4.9 newtons.
