To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
A lever is a very useful tool that lets us exchange weight for distance. For example (theoretically) if you had to move a 200 pound sack into a car, but couldn't lift it, you could divide it into 8 parts, each being 25 pounds, and move each one individually into the car. It would be easy, however it would take more distance (lifting into the car 8 times instead of 1)
The answer is mechanical advantage, not efficiency!
The ratio of resistance force to effort force is a mechanical advantage.
the resistance force multiplied by the effort force
A fixed pulley does NOT multiply the effort force or have a mechanical advantage. It only changes the direction of the effort force. A free pulley multiplies the effort by two. this means the free pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2.information from:www.mhscience02.com
load force divided by effort force
Whatever output force is required, you can divide it by the "mechanical advantage" to calculate the input force.

Normally the force you apply. Load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage of a fixed pulley
The load is the weight and the effort is the movment. The effort is the force applied, and load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.
