प्रश्न
What is the use of the lever if its mechanical advantage is
- more than 1,
- equal to 1, and
- less than 1?
उत्तर
- When the mechanical advantage is greater than 1, the lever serves as a force multiplier, enabling us to overcome a sizeable resistive force with a small effort.
- When the mechanical advantage is equal to 1, the lever is applied in a physical balance with equal lengths of both arms.
- When the mechanical advantage is less than 1, the levers are used to obtain the gain in speed. This implies that the load-displacement is greater than the displacement of effort.
