Calculating Mechanical Advantage of Levers
We use simple machines, like levers, to make tasks easier. While the output work (work done by the machine) of a simple machine can never
be greater than the input work (work put into the machine), a simple machine can multiply input forces OR multiply input distances (but never
both at the same time). You can use this skill sheet to practice calculating mechanical advantage (MA) for levers.
The general formula for the mechanical advantage (MA) of levers:
MAlever = Fo(output force)
Fi (input force)
Or you can use the ratio of the input arm length to the output arm length:
MAlever = Li (length of input arm)
Lo (length of output arm)
Most of the time, levers are used to multiply force to lift heavy objects.

Example 1: A construction worker uses a board and log as a lever to lift a
heavy rock. If the input arm is 3 meters long and the output arm is 0.75 meters
long, what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?
MA = 3 meters
= 4
0.75 meter
4
Example 2: Sometimes levers are used to multiply distance. For a broom, your
upper hand is the fulcrum and your lower hand provides the input force: Notice
the input arm is shorter than the output arm. The mechanical advantage of this
broom is:
MA = 0.3 meter = 0.25
1.2 meters
A mechanical advantage less than one does not mean a machine isn’t useful.
It just means that instead of multiplying force, the machine multiplies
distance. A broom doesn’t push the dust with as much force as you
use to push the broom, but a small movement of your arm pushes
the dust a large distance.
