Content
Specifically, the mechanical advantage is defined as the length of the lever arm divided by the length of the load arm. The mechanical advantage provides a magnitude for how much the effort force is multiplied. In a first-class lever configuration, the force on the load is equal to the effort force multiplied by the length of the lever arm (the distance between where the effort force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm and the fulcrum). This is the principle of torque. Thus, in general, the longer the lever arm the greater the force applied to the load with the same level of effort force. The present disclosure uses the benefits of a first-class lever. Of course, other embodiments may implement a second-class or third-class lever to facilitate applying a force to a load.
