Answer:

x = 2 meters.

Explanation:

Let the position (distance) of fulcrum to the load be x.

Given the following data;

Load = 40 kg

Effort (force) = 40 Newton

Effort arm = 4 - x

To find the position of the fulcrum, we would use the expression;

Effort * effort arm = load * load arm

40 * (4 - x) = 40 * x

160 - 40x = 40x

160 = 40x + 40x

160 = 80x

x = 160/80

x = 2 meters

Therefore, the position (distance) of fulcrum to the load is 2 meters.
