When the fulcrum is shifted to the right, which side has a mechanical advantage and which side has a mechanical disadvantage?

1 answer:

8 0

The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot.

A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage. The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

The mechanical advantage of the lever is increased by moving the fulcrum closer to the load i.e., by shifting the fulcrum towards the right. Moving the fulcrum away from the load has mechanical disadvantage as the distance between the load and the fulcrum increases, the input force becomes greater than the output force.

Answer:

The correct option is;

c) sixty degrees ahead or behind Jupiter, sharing its orbit about the Sun.

Explanation:

The Trojan asteroids are the Jupiter trojans consists of asteroid that are on the same orbit as Jupiter while moving around the Sun. The Trojans can be located at the points Lagrange points L4 and L5, which are 60° ahead and 60° behind Jupiter's orbit respectively.

The first Trojan asteroid to be detected was 588 Achilles by Max Wolf in 1906. At at October, the total number of the identified Trojan asteroid was 7,040.
