The length of a rectangular sheet of metal decreases by 34.5 cm. Its width decreases proportionally. If the sheets original widt

h was half the original length and the new area of the sheet is 1.2 m^2 what is the sheets original width and what percent did the area of the sheet change.

The original width was 94.71 cm 
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>

<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

Using a crowbar, a person can remove a nail by exerting little force, whereas pulling directly on the nail requires a large forc
algol [13]
Here we deal with a lever law. It states that product of force and distance from a fixed point on a lever is equal on both sides.

F₁*d₁ = F₂*d₂

By analysing this formula we can see that applying small force on a great length equals great force on a small length.
To remove nail we need to apply certain force. If we use F₁ for this required force we can see that on other side we need to apply certain force. If we have greater arm length we need smaller force. In a crowbar arm length along which we apply force is greater than length of our arm. This leads to a conclusion that we need smaller force when using crowbar. Depending on the length of a nail it is possible that we need to apply force that is greater than force required to remove nail.
