Answer:
Load = 80 Newton
Explanation:
Given the following data:
Effort = 20 N
Load arm = 15 cm
Effort arm = 60 cm
Conversion:
100 cm = 1 meters
15 cm = 15/100 = 0.15 meters
60 cm = 60/100 = 0.6 meters
To calculate the load, we would use the expression;
Effort * effort arm = load * load arm
Substituting into the expression, we have;
20 * 0.6 = load * 0.15
12 = load * 0.15
Load = 12/0.15
Load = 80 Newton
