  1. every turn your hand moves around circle with radius 0.20 meters

    2 pi r = 1.23 meters
    that raised the load 0.003 meters
    ratio = 1.23 / 0.003 = 409
    that is also the mechanical advantage if efficiency is perfect 100%
    but in reality .6 * 409 = 245
    400 kg * 9.8 = 3920 Newtons up on load
    your hand pushes with 3920 /245 = 16 Newtons hand push
    work done on load = 400*9.8 * 0.14 Joules
    so work done by hand = 400 * 9.8 * 0.14 / .6 Joules
