Length of Effort Arm given Load and Effort Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Effort Arm = Load on lever*Length of Load Arm/Effort on Lever
l₁ = W*l₂/P
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Effort Arm - (Measured in Meter) - Length of effort arm is defined as the length of the arm of the lever onto which the effort force is applied.
Load on lever - (Measured in Newton) - Load on lever is the instantaneous load that is resisted by the lever.
Length of Load Arm - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Load Arm is the length of the arm of a lever on the end on which the load is exerted.
Effort on Lever - (Measured in Newton) - Effort on Lever is the force applied on the input of the lever to overcome the resistance to get the work done by the machine.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load on lever: 2945 Newton --> 2945 Newton No Conversion Required
Length of Load Arm: 95 Millimeter --> 0.095 Meter (Check conversion here)
Effort on Lever: 294 Newton --> 294 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l₁ = W*l₂/P --> 2945*0.095/294

Evaluating ... ...

l₁ = 0.951615646258503

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.951615646258503 Meter -->951.615646258503 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

951.615646258503 ≈ 951.6156 Millimeter <-- Length of Effort Arm

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
