What is the mechanical advantage of the class 1 lever?
Input = Effort
Output = Load
MA - output force/input force
60 N Effort
360 N Load
a. .00138
b. 6
c. 60
d. 21,600
e. 216
The mechanical advantage of a class 1 lever is given by the formula Output Force/Input Force. In this case, the output force (load) is 360 N and the input force (effort) is 60 N.
Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 360/60 = 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. 6.
