If a first class lever with a resistance arm measuring 2 feet and an effort arm measuring 8 feet are being used, what's the mechanical advantage
answer is 4
You can make any relationship you want between the effort distance and the load (resistance) distance. If you make them equal, then your lever has no mechanical advantage.
answer is 4
(AMA / IMA)100 Where AMA represents the actual mechanical advantage and IMA represents the Ideal Mechanical advantage. AMA = Fr/Fe where Fr equals the force of the resistance from the fulcrum, and Fe equals the force of the effort. IMA = De/Dr where De equals the Distance of the effort from the fulcrum and Dr equals the distance of the resistance from the fulcrum
If a first class lever with a resistance arm measuring 2 feet and an effort arm measuring 8 feet are being used, what's the mechanical advantage
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
answer is 4
increase the effort arm to 8 feet
You can make any relationship you want between the effort distance and the load (resistance) distance. If you make them equal, then your lever has no mechanical advantage.

Effort Arm
Normally the force you apply. Load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.
The 'ideal' mechanical advantage is length of the effort arm/length of the load arm .
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
