the effort is where u put work into the screwdriver- the handle.
The Effort (or moment) Arm of a screwdriver would be the largest radius of the handle frop the center, ie. the radius of a cylinder. You can use any unit vector along a radius, because they will all yield the same torque (or moment).
It's a first-class lever, with a very long effort arm and a very short load arm.
The strength of your arm is the applied force on a screwdriver.
load arm, effort arm, load, effort, fulcrum!
Third class.
If it is the factory style wiper arm (replacement or otherwise), it probably has a tricky little lock mechanism holding it to the shaft sticking out of the cowling. Take a flat blade screwdriver and pry it in the direction away from the axis of the shaft. It will only move approx 1/4" and this unlatches the arm from the shaft. At this point, it's a matter of carefully prying the arm up off the shaft using whatever prying scheme you can think of without breaking the windshield, bending arms, or doing other damage. Once you get the arm off, inspect the end of it carefully and you'll see the little *&^%%$$$ that was causing you the problem.
THE PRODUCT OF EFFORT AND EFFORT ARM IS CALLED MOMENT OF EFFORT.
Effort Arm
With a screwdriver
There is a removable cover on top of the base of the wiper arm where it attaches to the post. Pop it out by prying with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Under the cover is a nut. Remove the nut and you should be able to pry the arm off the post. Unlike older vehicles the arm has a smooth tapered bore that fits on a corresponding taper on the post. Notice the position of your wiper arm when you remove it so that you can replace it in the same position.
When you look at the bottom to the arm where it attaches to the shaft, you will see a small clasp that can be gently pried out and away. Once you do this, the arm can be removed; I sometimes take a small 2x4 wrapped in a cloth to protect the paint, then use a large common screwdriver to carefully pry off the arm.
4Explanationfor a lever,effort * effort arm = load *load armso by re arranging above equation,load/effort = effort arm/load armNow, as load/effort is called mechanical advantage so,mechanical advantage = effort arm/load armAs total length of rod is 2 m out of which 1.6 m is effort arm so remaining 0.4 m would be load arm. thus on putting values in the above equation, we getmechanical advantage = 1.6/0.4 = 4
