Question

If the effort arm of a lever is longer than the load arm, then its mechanical advantage will be

• A. one
• B. more than one
• C. less than one
• D. zero

Answer 1

The correct option is B

more than one

1. The mechanical advantage of a lever is defined as the ratio of the effort arm to the load arm.
2. It is given as $MA=\frac{Effortarm}{Loadarm}$
3. If the effort arm is longer than the load arm then from the above equation mechanical advantage will be more than 1.

Hence the correct option is (B) more than one
