Question

In a first order lever, if the effort arm is shorter than the load arm then:

• A. Effort should be greater than load
• B. Load should be greater than effort
• C. Both are equal
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Effort should be greater than load

In a first order lever if the effort arm is shorter than load arm the required torque for lifting the load should be applied at the point of applying force. So, for equal torque at the end of shorter arm needed more force than the load.
