A lever is used to lift a heavy load?

when a 60 N force pushed one end of the lever down 1.2 m, the load rises 0.2 m. calculate the weight of the load.?

 

Answer

1.2/.2 = ratio of 6:1. 50N x 6 = 300N load. If you want that in kilograms, divide by 9.8 or whatever figure you have for gravitational acceleration.
