What are the input arm output arm and fulcrum of a pulley?

The input arm is the distance between the input force and the fulcrum. The output arm is the distance between the output force and the fulcrum. The fulcrum is the fixed point around which the pulley rotates.


What are the positions of fulcrum effort arm and load arm of a catapault?

In a catapult, the fulcrum is at the base of the throwing arm, the effort arm is the portion of the arm from the fulcrum to the point where the force is applied, and the load arm is the portion of the arm from the fulcrum to the payload being launched. The distance and positioning of these components determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the catapult in launching projectiles.

Fulcrum.


Where would place a fulcrum of a lever if you had to lify a heavy load?

A fulcrum would be placed as close to the heavy load as possible. This minimizes the lever arm (and thus minimizes the torque) for the load while maximizing the lever arm (and thus maximizing the torque) for the force you must apply.


What describes the distance from the applied force to the fulcrum?

The distance from the applied force to the fulcrum is called the effort arm or lever arm. It is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and the fulcrum in a lever system. The length of the effort arm affects the mechanical advantage of the lever.

How much force would a biceps muscle inserted 4 cm from the fulcrum need to hold the arm stationary at a 90 percent angle?

Only a very small force if the arm only has to be supported. What other weights do the arm carry and at what angle does the biceps attach to the fore-arm? What is the distance to the hand from the fulcrum and what is the arm weight (assuming a weight is in the hand and arm weight has to be added to the weight-in-hand)? The length of the hand to fulcrum is also required. There is no such thing as 90% angle: 90 degrees perhaps?
