A lever |
2013-11-09 |
|
From Durgesh:
A farmer uses a 2 m long lever to lift large rocks from the ground of his field . He places a fulcrum 20cm from the rock end of the lever and then stands on the other end, levering out the rock. If the farmer weighs 100 kg , what is the heaviest mass of the ro ck that he can lift using this method? (how to solve)

Weighing a 1000 lb cylinder on a 500 lb scale |

From Jerry:
I am trying to weigh a large possibly 1000 lb cylinder on a 500 lb scale, is this possible? If so what is the actual formula to figure out the correct weight? I am told it is possible with the fulcrum method but have not been able to find a formula. Thanks Jerry

The position of the fulcrum |

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?

Balancing on a fulcrum (net torque and equilbrium) |

From Eric:
If I have a 4" bar that has no weight value with a 275lb. weight on one side
and a 125lb. weight on the other side what would be the folcrum point? Please
keep the answer very simple. Also is there a fixed equation to figure folcrum points?
Is there an equation for if the 4" bar had a weight value?
