A 2-kg mass placed 30-cm to the left of the fulcrum is balanced by a 2-kg mass placed ______ cm to the right of the fulcrum.

Answer :

0.06 or  [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

What is the effort and load arm?

The lever has two “arms”:

The load arm is the portion of the lever directly connected to the load.

The effort arm is the portion of the lever to which we apply the effort, or input force.

The formula of the mechanical advantage(MA) of a lever is given as

MA = load/effort.

Given,

load = 2kg , effort = 30cm

MA = [tex]\frac{2}{30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

MA  = 0.06 cm

Therefore,

A 2-kg mass placed 30-cm to the left of the fulcrum is balanced by a 2-kg mass placed  0.06 cm to the right of the fulcrum.
