Answer:

ok this is when we come to calculating the mechanical advantage of a lever. To do this, you divide the distance from the fulcrum, the point at which the lever pivots, to the applied force by the distance from the fulcrum to the resistance force. Using this picture, this means dividing distance b by distance a.
