Answer:

F = 250 [N] (Force exerted by Sunita)

Explanation:

First we must understand the use of the lever, in the attached picture we see that it is fulcrum and other features.

The moment that the load exerts with respect to the fulcrum should be calculated, as the distance is 1 [m].

[tex]M=F*d\\M=1000*1\\M=1000[N*m][/tex]

Now Sunita must exert the same moment using the remaining distance (4 [m]).

[tex]1000=F_{sunita}*4\\F_{sunita}=1000/4\\F_{sunita}=250 [N][/tex]
