1) What output force (Fout) is produced if the lever arm length (rout) is 100 mm?
2)What output force (Fout) is produced if the lever arm length (rout) is 150 mm?
3)If the length of the lever arm is increased, what happens to the output force?
By lengthening the effort arm, you are reducing the ratio of the resistance arm to the effort arm (Velocity Ratio), and increasing the ratio of the resistance force to the effort force. The higher the MA, the greater the power of the lever.
