For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.
Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x
for the fulcrum to balance:
60x = 50(12 - x)
60x = 600 - 50x
110x = 600
x = 5.45
Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55
d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
Here are the 4 inequality signs.
---> a is less than b
---> a is less than or equal to b
---> a is greater than b
---> a is greater than or equal to b
For the second and fourth lines above, the two sides may or may not be equal.
For the first and third lines above, the two sides cannot be equal.
Answer:
Take a fixed gap and draw 180 degree arc of equal size on each side.
The compass size should be the same for the whole process, be careful.
Make 90 degrees angle for both side and cross two arcs from each 90 degrees. The point thus obtained should be produced vertically towards the line AB. The point on the line segment is the line bisector.
Answer: Coordinates for S (4,-13)
