I've never seen a one-armed wheelchair. If one of the arms has fallen off, I'd return it for a new one or seek to have it repaired.

If you are asking whether a wheelchair can be pushed using only one hand, I'd say yes, you can, if you wish to spin the chair around one wheel and aren't interested in moving the patient forward. If you wish to move the chair forward, however, then you must apply a force to the back of the chair between the two handles.

It's important to distribute your weight evenly to keep the forces balanced and prevent accidents.


Why MA of third class lever is always less than one?

In a third-class lever, the effort arm is always shorter than the resistance arm. This mechanical advantage formula is calculated as resistance arm length divided by effort arm length. Since the effort arm is shorter than the resistance arm, this division always results in a value less than one, indicating that the force needed at the effort arm is larger than the force exerted at the resistance arm to lift a load.


If the mechanical advantige of a class one lever is greater than 1 then which arm is longerweight arm or effort arm?

If the mechanical advantage of a class one lever is greater than 1, then the effort arm is longer than the weight arm. This means that a smaller input force is required to lift a larger output force, making the lever more efficient.
