Q

What is meant by the term ‘Mechanical Disadvantage’?

A

it takes a larger effort to move a smaller load

42
Q

Which lever system has a mechanical disadvantage?

A 
3rd class lever always has a mechanical disadvantage
2nd class lever can do, depending on where the fulcrum lies in the middle.
43
Q
