the higher you place the pivot point on the lever, the higher the stone will go. the lower you place it the lower the stone will go.

How does the length of a screw affect its IMA?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage can be found using this formula IMA = DE / DR . Ideal Mechanical Advantage is a theoretical calculation, AMA,Êactual mechanical advantage is calculated with this formula, AMA = R / Eactual .
How does a pulley affect force?
no it does not,it has no mechanical advantage whatsoever. It is just an advantage because it goes in the opposite direction in which you pull.
How does a decrease in height affect the actual echanical advantage of the inclined plane?
Since the Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is inversely proportional to its height, increasing the height would lower your mechanical advantage and lowering the height would increase it.Alternately, mechanical advantage is directlyproportional to an inclined plane's length, therefore increasing the length would increase your mechanical advantage.
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
How does increasing weight affect the ideal mechanical advantage?
The ideal mechanical advantage is determined by the shape, size, and configuration of the simple machine. The weight of the load, the size of the applied force, or the weight of the components or materials of the machine itself have no effect on the ideal mechanical advantage.
How does a fixed pulley affect force?
no it does not,it has no mechanical advantage whatsoever. It is just an advantage because it goes in the opposite direction in which you pull.

What factor affect the mechanical advantage of simple machine?
friction affects the M.A in a simple machine.
Does the placement of the wheels on a car change the speed of the car?
The placement wouldn't affect the speed, but would affect the handling.
What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?
Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.
What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
How does the different type of pulley system affect the mechanical advantage?
Depending on the type of pulley system you have (Fixed/ movable/ combined pulley) using either of these will give you mechanical advantage. The different pulley types are designed to even the weight of the object your pulled out, this will enable you to lift heavier objects with a lighter pull
