D) Guard against a short circuit electrocuting a user.
"The 4-wire setup is inherently safer and better able to prevent electrical shock, which in the case of a 220/240-volt circuit can be fatal."
Wearing rubber or stay away from water or/ and a conductor
Answer:
1.25 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Force ratio = 2.5
Distance of load from the fulcrum = 0.5 m
Distance of effort =.?
The distance of the effort from the fulcrum can be obtained as illustrated below:
Force ratio = Distance of effort / Distance of load
2.5 = Distance of effort / 0.5
Cross multiply
Distance of effort = 2.5 × 0.5
Distance of effort = 1.25 m
Therefore, the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is 1.25 m
