Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the mechanical advantage (MA) of a lever, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Load}}{\text{Effort}} \] Where: - Load is the weight that is being lifted (in Newtons). - Effort is the force applied to lift the load (in Newtons). ...
