Answer: F = 20 N

Explanation:

I will ASSUME that the fulcrum is at the center of gravity of the lever arm, This means that the lever arm itself creates no moment about the fulcrum because there is no moment arm for that particular force.

To solve, we sum moments about any convenient point to zero (zero because there is no acceleration in the F = ma equation)

The easiest convenient point is the fulcrum

30((90/2) - 15) - F(90/2) = 0

           30(30) = F(45)

                    F = 900/45 = 20 N

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
