1. A machine is designed in such a way that it can lift a load of 360 kgf when applying an effort of 12 kgf.

What is the mechanical advantage of the machine?


2. A lever of length 150 cm is subjected to a load of 75 kgf at a distance of 15 cm from one end. The lever
is designed such that the fulcrum is at the end of the shorter arm and effort is applied at the end of the
longer arm. Draw the diagram and find out

(i) the length of the arm.


(Ii) the length of the effort arm.
(Iii) the mechanical advantage.
(Iv) the effort required
3. A lever of length 100 cm has an effort of 20 kgf at a distance of 40 cm from the fulcrum at one end.
Draw the diagram and find out the maximum load it can support.
4. Find the mechanical advantage of the lever given below.
5. Derive the principle of lever with respect to a class I lever.
6. Calculate the net force acting on the block.
7. When a boy applies a force of 20 N on the box, the box is unmoved. As soon as he increases the force,
the box starts moving. How much sliding friction is acting on the box? Explain using necessary diagrams.
8. A boy is holding a bucket containing water with a combined weight of 30 kgf. Calculate the magnitude and
direction of muscular force applied on it.
