Gardeners would need to use 960 Newtons of force to lift a potted tree 45 centimeters onto a deck. Instead, they set up a lever. If they press the lever down 2 meters, how much force do they use to lift the tree?(1 point)

Use work (force × distance) for an ideal lever: F·2 m = 960 N·0.45 m, so F = (960·0.45)/2 = 216 N.

Answer: 216 N
