What is the mechanical advantage of the class 1 lever?
Input = Effort
Output = Load
MA = output force/input force
Lever dimensions
Left side: 60 N Effort Fulcrum at the bottom Right side: Load 360 N
A. 216
B. 6
C. .00138
D. 21,600
E. 60
The mechanical advantage of a class 1 lever is equal to the ratio of the load (output force) to the effort (input force). In this case, the load is 360 N and the effort is 60 N.
So, the mechanical advantage (MA) = 360 N / 60 N = 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 6.
