Respuesta :

Answer:

1) 250 N

2) 3 m

3) 200 N

Explanation:

You need to balance the torque created in either sides of the fulcrum to get the required answers.

L.H.S torque = R.H.S torque

Torque = Force × perpendicular distance to axis of rotation

1) 4×____ = 2×500

  answer = 250 N

2) 4×300 = ____×400

  answer = 3 m

3) 1×600 = 3×____

  answer = 200 N
