The position of the fulcrum 2009-05-23
From jim:
I think I need a formula. I need to know how far an object will be lifted. A beam is 246 inches long on one side of the fulcrum, and 41 inches on the other side, if I push down 36 inches on the long side of the beam, how much will the short side move up?
