A crowbar 4 m long has its fulcrum 50 cm from one end. What minimum effort is required to displace a weight of 500 kgf? Calculate the M.A. of the crowbar.
संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

A crowbar is a class I lever, Thus its fulcrum lies in between the load and effort

Given, load, L = 500 kgf

Lenght of crowbar = 4 m = 400cm

Therefore, load arm = 50 cm

Effort arm = 400 - 50 cm = 350 cm 

Let effort = E

Now, M.A = effort armload arm=35050 = 7

Also, M.A = LE

7 = 500E

or, E = 71.4 kgf
