Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in a fulcrum weights are perfectly balanced.
One side 40 lb weight is there and another side 50 lb weight is given
Let x be the length of 40 lb weight from fulcrum. Then 50 lbs is at a distance of 11-x.
Then we have since weights are perfectly balanced

Thus we get
feet
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
if <span>the weights are perfectly balanced
40*(x)=50*(11-x)
40x=550-50x------------> 50x+40x=550--------------> x=6.11
x=6.1 ft
the answer is 6.1 ft</span>
