To calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) of scissors, divide the length of the effort arm (the distance from where the force is applied to the pivot point) by the length of the load arm (the distance from the pivot point to where the load is applied). The formula is MA = Effort Arm Length / Load Arm Length. A higher MA indicates that less effort is needed to cut the material.
