Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
