To solve the problem, we need to find the effort required to lift a load using the mechanical advantage of a lever. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for Mechanical Advantage (MA) The mechanical advantage of a lever is given by the formula: \[ \text{MA} = \frac{\text{Load}}{\text{Effort}} \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values From the question, we know: ...
