SOLUTION: Provided: W1•x = W2(L - x), where W1 and W2 are weights on either side
of a balance bar, x is the distance from W1 to the
folcrum point, and "L" is the length of the bala

Question 874748: Provided: W1•x = W2(L - x), where W1 and W2 are weights on either side
of a balance bar, x is the distance from W1 to the
folcrum point, and "L" is the length of the balance bar.
A 10 foot long balance bar (of negligible weight) has a 50 pound
weight applied at the left end and a 75 pound weight applied on the
right end. How far is the fulcrum point located from the right end?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! W1•x = W2(L - x)
50*x = 75(10-x)
50x = 750 -75x
125x = 750
x = 6
The fulcrum point is located is located (10-6) from the right end, therefore
the fulcrum point is located 4 feet from the right end
