Question

So I'm filling out a table for a lab and I need the resistance distance.

I know that resistance force can be expressed as R*DR=E*DE

R=Resistance Force
DR=Resistance Distance
E=Effort Force
DE=Effort Distance

So I have this equation:
200g * x = 1.96N * 0.1M

How do I get rid of the grams and Newtons when solving for x so my answer is in meters? Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm confused about the equation that you currently have. Why did you include mass? Where's the force? If we look at the units, this is what we have:

\[\huge \text{N}*\text{m}_x=\text{N}*\text{m}\]\[\huge \rightarrow \text{m}_x=\frac{\cancel{\text{N}}*\text{m}}{\cancel{\text{N}}}\]\[\huge \rightarrow \text{m}_x=\text{m}\]
Where m_x is the unit (in meters) of your unknown distance.
