What is the relationship between distance from the fulcrum and the mechanical advantage of a first class lever?
The mechanical advantage of a First Class lever is Distance of the effort from the fulcrum/Distance of the load from the fulcrum
True or false The fulcrum is closer to the force when a force multiplier lever is used?
False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.
What is the difference between effort distance and load distance?

The object that moves around a fulcrum?
The Forearm
Is a bar on a fulcrum a pulley?
yes,a fulcrum needs a bar to lift an object but a pulley does not need a bar
What is the MA of a first class lever?
It is (distance from fulcrum to effort)/(distance from fulcrum to load).
What is another word for fulcrum?
The fulcrum is the support about which a lever pivots.The fulcrum is the pivot point in a lever (or other simple machines ) to either multiply the mechanical force (effort) that can be applied to another object or resistance force (load), or multiply the distance and speed at which the opposite end of the rigid object travels. =]
What is the relationship between distance from the fulcrum and the mechanical advantage of a first class lever?
The mechanical advantage of a First Class lever is Distance of the effort from the fulcrum/Distance of the load from the fulcrum
What is the length from the fulcrum to the load?
That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum. One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.

False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine?
In the distance from the fulcrum to the input forcedivided by the distance from the fulcrum to theoutput force.
To balance a lever between a 1 pound ball and a 2 pound ball where to put the fulcrum?
Position the fulcrum so that the distance from the fulcrum to the one pound ball is twice the distance from the fulcrum to the two pound ball.
The object that moves around a fulcrum?
The Forearm
Is a bar on a fulcrum a pulley?
yes,a fulcrum needs a bar to lift an object but a pulley does not need a bar
How do you measure the effort distance in a lever?
Measure the distance from the fulcrum to the effort?
How does moving fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object?
how does moving a fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object
