Calculate the moment if a 50 N force is applied 0.5 m from the pivot and then determine the distance needed for a 25 N force to produce the same moment.
💡 Hint: Use the moment formula for calculations.
A lever has a 30 N load placed 1 meter from the fulcrum. If you want to balance it with a force of 10 N, how far from the fulcrum do you need to place that force?
💡 Hint: Create a balance of moments on both sides.
