Identify the correct point for the simple lever shown above
1. pivot point (fulcrum)
2. point at which effort force (input) acts
3. point at which load force (output) gets applied
Calculate:
4. Distance from the effort force to the pivot (effort arm)
5. Distance from the load force to the pivot (load arm)
6. Mechanical Advantage (M.A.)
Usage:
7. If the input force is 10 N, what will be the output force?
8. Explain why this bottle-opener (below) is not as effective as the one at the top of the page.
