Answer:

Fp = 45 N

VMR = 2

VMI = 2

Efficiency = 100%

Explanation:

English Translation

In a 6m bar that is used as a lever, the fulcrum is placed 2m away from the right end, as shown in the figure. At that same end it is required to support a load of 90N. Neglecting lever weight, determined Fp, VMI, VMR and system efficiency

Solution

With the diagram not massively needed to solve this question.

Although, the load of 90 N is placed at the right end of the bar, the fulcrum is placed 2 m from that right end and the balancing force or effort is placed at the extreme most left end of the 6 m bar.

Taking moment about the fulcrum,

The sum of clockwise moments must balance the sum of anti-clockwise moments.

(Load) × (Distance of load from the fulcrum) = (Balancing force) × (Distance of balancing force from fulcrum)

Load = L = 90 N

Distance of load from the fulcrum = 2 m

Balancing force or Effort = Fp = ?

Distance of balancing force from fulcrum = 6 - 2 = 4 m

90 × 2 = Fp × 4

Fp = (180/4) = 45 N

The mechanical advantages are them given as

VMR = (Load)/(Effort) = (90/45) = 2

VMI = (Distance of Effort from the fulcrum)/(Distance of Load from fulcrum) = (4/2) = 2
