Fulcrum At (cm) || Load at End of Ruler (g) || Load distance (cm) (from fulcrum to load) || Effort Force needed (newtons) || Effort Force Distance (cm) || 50 || 50 ||  49 ||  0.5 (N) || 49 || 50 || 50 ||  49 ||  0.9(N) || 40 || 50 || 50 ||  49 ||  1.3 (N) || 30 || 50 || 50 ||  49 ||  1.7 (N) || 20 ||

Try these other fulcrum placements and find several effort placements that will work.

1. Compare the effort distance and the effort force in all trials. What happens to the amount of effort force as the effort distance increases? Use the terms “inverse” or “direct” in your answer.
