Fig 3.17 below shows a lever in use.

(a) To which class of lever does it belong?
(b) If FA = 80 cm, AB = 20 cm, find its mechanical advantage.
(c) Calculate the value of E.
A lever of length 9 cm has its load arm 5 cm long and the effort arm is 9 cm long.
- To which class does it belong?
- Draw a diagram of the lever showing the position of fulcrum F and directions of both the load L and effort E.
- What is the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio if the efficiency is 100%?
- What will be the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio if the efficiency becomes 50%?
