Question 181154: If a uniform bar is to balance on a fulcrum, the ration of the larger weight to the smaller weight must equal the ratio of the smaller distance to the larger distance.
If an 8 kg weight is 7.2m from the fulcrum, how far from the fulcrum is a 9 kg weight which balances it?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a uniform bar is to balance on a fulcrum, the ratio of the larger weight to the smaller weight must equal the ratio of the smaller distance to the larger distance.
If an 8 kg weight is 7.2m from the fulcrum, how far from the fulcrum is a 9 kg weight which balances it?
---------------------------------------
x/9 = 7.2/8
x = 9(7.2/8)
x = 9*0.9
x = 8.1 meter
