A see-saw of length 2 m is pivoted at 50 cm form one end in a public park. What is the effort applied at the near end to the fulcrum to lift a load of 150 N at the far end to fulcrum?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
450 N
`MA = ("Effort arm ")/("Load arm ")`
`= (50)/(150) = (1)/(3)`
`MA = (L)/(E)`
`E = (L)/(MA) = 150 xx (3)/(1)`
`:.` Effort = 450 N
