Question

How can the mechanical advantage of a lever be increased?

Answer 1

Answer;

C) by applying the force farther from the fulcrum

Explanation;

• The mechanical advantage of a machine is the factor by which it multiplies any applied force. It is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force.
• Mechanical advantage of levers depends on how far away each are from the fulcrum.
• The mechanical advantage of a lever is increased when either the effort is moved further away from the fulcrum or the load is shifted closer to the fulcrum, or both.
