always less than the input force?

Answer:
- <u>Second Class of lever:</u> The second class of the lever is considered the most efficient or have the most mechanical advantage in conveying more productivity or output while investing less input into the system.
Explanation:
<u>The second Class of lever:</u>
The second type of lever has the load,L in between the effort,E and the fulcrum,F. As the effort moves a larger distance to move the load a small distance. As there is more productivity or mechanical output in response to less input to the system.

Answer:
21.8°
Explanation:
Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.
Draw a free body diagram for each block.
There are 4 forces acting on block D:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,
Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,
and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.
There are 4 forces acting on block E:
Weight force P pulling down,
Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,
Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,
and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.
Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₁ − P sin θ = 0
N₁ = P sin θ
Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0
T = P cos θ − N₁μ
T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ
T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)
Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:
∑F = ma
N₂ − P cos θ = 0
N₂ = P cos θ
Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:
∑F = ma
N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0
T = N₂μ + P sin θ
T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ
T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
Set equal:
P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)
cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ
1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ
1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)
tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)
Plug in values:
tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)
θ = 23.2°
∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.
