Calculate the load, which can be overcome by an ideal machine, when effort = 50 N, effort arm = 1 m and load arm = 10 cm

Open in App

Solution

Step 1, Given data
Effort = 50 N
Effort arm = 1 m
Load arm = 10 cm = 0.10 m
Step 2, Finding load
From the principle of the lever
We know,
$E f f o r t \times E f f o r t a r m = L o a d \times L o a d a r m$
Putting all the values
$50 N \times 1 m = L o a d \times 0.10 m$
After solving
$L o a d = 500 N$
Hence the load that can be overcome by the machine is 500 N.
