What load could be lifted by a 5 m long lever with a fulcrum 2m from the load if the effort is 30 n? 75 n 12 n 45 n 20 n

F₁ = effort applied = 30 N

F₂ = load applied = ?

r₁ = distance of effort force from the fulcrum = ?

r₂ = distance of load force from the fulcrum = 2 m

L = length of the lever = 5 m

from the diagram , we see that

L = r₁ + r₂

inserting the values

5 m = r₁ + 2 m

r₁ = 5 m - 2 m

r₁ = 3 m

using equilibrium of torque about the fulcrum from the diagram

F₁ r₁ = F₂ r₂

inserting the values

(30) (3) = F₂ (2)

F₂ = 90/2

F₂ = 45 N

hence the correct choice is 45 N

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
