Question

a lever will balance if the mass of object 1 times its distance from the fulcrum equals the ma's of object 2 times its distance from the fulcrum

Answer 1

If the distance between the fulcrum and the effort is increased, the distance that the effort must move the lever increases as well. Conversely, if the distance between the fulcrum and the load is decreased, the distance that the lever must move also decreases.

so we have too apply more force to pull the lever cause the distance is 1x smaller then mia lever so on mia lever we ull moree to get it to move!
