The mechanical advantage (MA) of a class 1 lever is calculated as the ratio of the output force (load) to the input force (effort). It can also be determined by the distances from the fulcrum to the load and the effort.

In general, the formula to calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) of a class 1 lever is:

\[ \text{MA} = \frac{\text{Distance from Fulcrum to Effort}}{\text{Distance from Fulcrum to Load}} \]

Without specific input distances or values, it's not possible to give a precise answer here. However, from the provided options (2, 4050, 0.5, 67.5, 12.5), the mechanical advantage could commonly be 2 in many scenarios where the lever is balanced favorably.

If you have specific lengths or details, please provide them for a more accurate calculation.
