Calculate:
Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA)
IMA= Distance(effort force)/Distance(resistant force)
IMA= 5 feet/ 2 feet
IMA= 2.5
3. Static Equilibrium Calculations:
FE= Force of Effort Force
M= moment (Force x distance)
Moment Effort + Moment Resistance
∑ MFulcrum= 0
(200lbs)(2ft) + (5ft)(FE)= 0
5ft (FE) = 400 lbs/ft
FE= 80 lbs
