A worker lifts various loads with the same lever. The distance of the applied force from the fulcrum is 4.00 m and the distance from the fulcrum to the load is 0.750 m. A graph of resistance force vs. effort force is shown. What is the mechanical advantage of the lever? What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the lever? What is the efficiency of the lever? Show your work.
Efficiency = Mechanical advantage (AMA) / Ideal Mechanical
Advantage (IMA)
The mechanical advantage = Load force / Applied force
The ideal mechanical advantage = 1 , because the IMA is always the
amount of beneficial 'structures', towards the increasing the
efficiency.
So, given that (Load)Force1 X (Load)Length1 / (Applied)Force2 X
(Applied)Length2 = AMA
Therefore AMA = (F(0.750m)) / (F(4.00m)) = 0.1875
Since AMA = 0.1875 , and IMA = 1
% Eff = AMA / IMA = 0.1875 / 1.00 = 0.1875 = 18.75% Efficient
So the answers are...
Mechanical advantage = 0.1875
Ideal mechanical advantage = 1
Efficiency of the lever = 0.1875 or 18.75%

A worker exerts 85.0 lb on a lever to lift a weight. The distance from the worker to the fulcrum is 8.00 ft; the distance from the weight to the fulcrum is 2.00 ft. Find the weight lifted. Find the mechanical advantage of the lever.
You pass by a building site and see a crane that lifts loads to upper floors of a building under construction. You wonder about the magnitude of the forces that support the beam of the crane. You snap photograph of the crane with your smartphone. Back at home, you make a drawing of the crank from your photo. Your drawing is shown in the following figure. CM 0 You estimate the lengths and by measure the distance between floors on...
Hi! I’m wondering if anyone can help with these physics problems from my exam krackers book? I am studying for the mcat and the explanations in the book and student doctor are not helping me.

By deatiles please! Q1. The figure shown below is extracted from bending stress in a beam experiment where an inverted Aluminum (E 69 GPa) T-section is subjected to two point-Loads (each 1/2W). The strain across the depth of the cross section is measured using strain gauges which are sensors that experience a change in electrical resistance when stretched or compressed. Connections to digital strain display Beam Loading frame Pin support -Retaining pin Strain gauges Locating hole for STRBA load cel...
