उत्तर
The principle of a lever states that the product of the load and the load arm is always equal to the product of the effort and the effort arm.
Load x Load arm = Effort x Effort arm Load Effort arm
`"Load "/ "Effort"`= `"Effort arm"/"Load arm"`
The above ratio is called the mechanical advantage of a lever.
