Thus effort force 1000N can overcome load force 5000N using the mechanical
advantage this simple lever. However, over the centuries have used our superior intelli-
gence design tools, mechanisms and machines which have overcome
this physical inadequacy.

Our physical abilities the field lifting and moving heavy objects are
limited.

depends upon the distance from the fulcrum and the magnitude the force.

Efficiency any machine
In any machine the power available the output less than that which
is put because losses occur the machine. With the aid machine
we are able magnify the effort
exerted the input and lift move
large loads the output.
Example
Calculate the effort required raise load 500kg when the effort applied distance
of five times the load distance from the fulcrum (assume the acceleration due gravity be
10m/s2
)
