If the load weighs 350 N, the effort that is required to lift the weight is 70 N

To answer the question, we need to know what mechanical advantage is.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

The mechanical advantage of the hydraulic lift M.A = L/E where

<h3>Effort required to lift the weight</h3>

Making E subject of the formula, we have

E = L/M.A

Given that

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = L/M.A

E = 350 N/5

E = 70 N

So, the effort that is required to lift the weight is 70 N
