The weight needed to balance a lever varies inversely with the distance from the fulcrum to the weight. a 120-lb weight is placed on a lever, 5 ft from the fulcrum. what amount of weight should be placed 8 foot from the fulcrum to be balanced. a). 120 b). 75 c). 8 d). 125 i think, not 100% sure, like 90% sure, it's b. 75.

Let w represents the weight and d represents the distance.

It is given that

The weight needed to balance a lever varies inversely with the distance from the fulcrum to the weight. A 120-lb weight is placed on a lever, 5 ft from the fulcrum.

Substituting the values of w and d, we will get

Using the value of k which is 600, with the above equation and the given value of d which is 8, we will get

Therefore the correct option is B .

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
