The platform scale consists of a combination of third and
first class levers so that the load on one lever becomes the
effort that moves the next lever.Through this arrangement,
a small weight can balance a massive object. If
and, the mass of the counterweight Sis 2 kg, determine the
mass of the load Lrequired to maintain the balance.
