A force equal to 4 N acts on the lever, what is the shoulder of force equal to if the moment of force is 0.8 N m?

Data: F (force acting on the lever) = 4 N; M (magnitude of the moment of force) = 0.8 N * m.

The shoulder of force can be expressed from the formula for calculating the moment of force: M = F * l, whence l = M / F.

Let’s make a calculation: l = 0.8 / 4 = 0.2 m (20 cm).

Answer: The shoulder of force is 20 centimeters.
