A man opens a nut by applying a force of 150 N by using a lever handle of length 0*4m. What should be the length of the handle if he wants to open it by applying a force of 60 N?

Answer»

Solution :Given, when effort=150 N, effort arm=`0*4m`.
when effort=60N, effort arm=?
LOAD and load arm REMAINS the same in both CASES.
`therefore 150xx0*4=60xx`effort arm
or Effort arm (i.e., length of length)
`=(150xx0*4)/(60)=1m`.
