Answer:
3360 N
Explanation:
In a first-class lever, the effort force and load force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.
The lever is 5 m long. The load force is 1.50 m from the fulcrum, so the effort force must be 3.50 m from the fulcrum.
The torques are equal:
Fr = Fr
(1440 N) (3.5 m) = F (1.5 m)
F = 3360 N
