Solution

Step 1: Given data
Given the load applied $= 260 N$
Mechanical advantage $= 10$
Let E is the effort applied
Step 2: Formula used
$M A (M e c h a n i c a l a d v a n t a g e) = \frac{L o a d}{E f f o r t}$
Step 3: Calculation for effort
Substituting the value of the load, and mechanical advantage we get,
$10 = \frac{260 N}{E} E = 26 N$
Hence, if MA is greater than 1 it indicates that the given lever is the order II lever.
