A big rock is heavier to lift than a small stone because it has more mass and thus more gravitational force acting on it. This makes it more difficult to overcome gravity when lifting the big rock compared to the smaller stone.

Can a lever lift a rock?

Yes, a lever can lift a rock by using a mechanical advantage to multiply the force applied to lift the rock. The longer the lever arm, the easier it is to lift the rock.


When you use a crowbar to lift a heavy rock which force is bigger the weight of the rock or the force applied to the end of crowbar?

The force applied to the end of the crowbar is bigger than the weight of the rock. By using the crowbar as a lever, you apply a smaller force over a longer distance to lift the heavier rock with a greater force over a shorter distance. This allows you to overcome the weight of the rock more easily.


What changes when a lever is used to lift a rock instead of lifting it by hand?

Using a lever allows for the force applied to be spread out over a larger distance, making it easier to lift the rock compared to lifting it by hand where the force is applied directly. This makes it possible to lift heavier objects with less effort when using a lever.


Is it easier to lift a load with or without a lever And How?

It is easier to lift a load with a lever. You exert a large force over a small distance on the load end by exerting only a small force over a greater distance at the effort end. The following equation, and example, may help you visualize it.load arm X load force = effort arm X effort forceNow imagine that you have a one kilogram rock, and a one gram feather. If you place the the rock 1 cm to the left of the fulcrum, and the feather 1 meter to the right of the fulcrum, the two will be balanced. This is because the feather is 1000 times farther from the fulcrum than the rock. So, even though the rock is 1000 times heavier than the feather, the feather has a mechanical advantage, which balances it out on the fulcrum.


What has changed when a gardener uses a lever to lift a rock instead of lifting it by hand?

Well, what happens is, people who don't know what they're doing come on here and ask questions when they should know how to answer the question themselves. This sounds like a question from a test, so if it's for a test then you should have been taught how to solve this.
