A force equal to 0.4 N. acts on the lever. What is the shoulder of this force if the moment of force is 0.2 N * m?

Given:

F = 0.4 Newton – the value of some force acting on the lever;

p = 0.2 N * m (newton per meter) – the value of the moment of this force.

It is required to determine l (centimeter) – the shoulder of this force.

To determine the shoulder of force, you need to use the following formula:

p = F * l, from here we get that:

l = p / F = 0.2 / 0.4 = 2/4 = 0.5 meters.

Let’s convert meters to centimeters:

l = 0.5 * 100 = 50 centimeters.

Answer: the shoulder of force is 50 centimeters
