The mechanical advantage of a lever system is 3 and the load is 30 determine the effort required to lift the load

Answer 1

In a lever system, the mechanical advantage (MA) is calculated as the ratio of the load force to the effort force.

MA = Load / Effort

Given that the mechanical advantage is 3 and the load is 30, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the effort force (Effort):

3 = 30 / Effort

Now, we can solve for the effort force by isolating Effort:

Effort = 30 / 3
Effort = 10

Therefore, the effort required to lift the 30 load in this lever system is 10 units.
