2. LEVER Effort (E) is the input force which must be supplied by the user or an engine of some kind. Load (R) is the output force which is also the force resisting motion

3. LEVER EQUATIONS

4. LEVER CLASSES 1 st Class 2nd Class 3 rd Class

5. Wheel & Axle TORQUE = FORCE * RADIUS CIRCUMFERENCE = 2  (RADIUS) =  (DIAMETER)

6. Pulleys Mechanical Advantage = Total number of strands supporting the load (Note: Count the end strand only when the effort is pointed upwards. For Example – for the diagram shown above the Mechanical Advantage is 6.)
