Lever force distance

Calculate at what distance from the axis of rotation a force of 60 N acts on one side of a double-return lever; if a force of 180 N acts on the other side at a distance of 1 meter from the axis of rotation, the lever is in equilibrium.

Final Answer:

x1 =  3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

F1=60 N F2=180 N x2=1 m  M1=M2 M1 = F1 x1 M2 = F2 x2  F1 x1 = F2 x2  x1=x2 F1F2=1 60180=601 180=60180=3 m
