Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
i. CW moment = 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) - 60 N (40 cm) = - 1400 N-cm
ii. ACW momenet = 60 N (40 cm) - 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) = 1400 N-cm
iii. No. The lever is not balanced in the situation. Because the moment is ± 1400 N-cm. if balance, the moment must be Zero.
iv. the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm
take moment from Δ (support)
60(40) = 10(x) + 30(30)
2400 = 10x + 900
10x = 2400 - 900
10x = 1500
x = 1500/10
x = 150 cm
therefore, the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm
