A lever 12m long balances weights of 48kg on one end and 24kg on the other end. Find the lengths of the two arms of the lever.... Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 48*x=24(12-x)
48x=288-24x
48x+24x=288
72x=288
x=288/72
x=4 m from the folcrum for the 48 kg weight.
12-4=8 m from the folcrum for the 24 kg weight.
