student is removing rocks from a garden. She exerts a force of 218 N on a lever to raise one rock a distance of 11.0 cm.
Answer:
52.98 cm
Explanation:
The ratio of forces and distance moved will be the same hence we apply cross multiplication rule
If 218 N can only raise the rock to a distance of 11 cm then we check the distance it can move when force is increased to 1050 N
218 N=11 cm
1050 N=?
By cross multiplication, the distance will be equivalent to [tex]\frac {1050\times 11 cm}{218}=52.981651376146\ cm\approx 52.98\ cm[/tex]
