Question

Class II levers are designed to have:

(a) M.A. = V.R.

(b) M.A. > V.R.

(c) M.A > 1

(d) M.A < 1

Answer 1

(c) M.A > 1

Hint: In class II levers, the load is in between the effort and fulcrum. Thus, the effort arm is always longer than the load arm and less effort is needed to overcome a large load. Hence, M.A > 1
