Leverage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Mechanical Advantage of Lever = Length of Effort Arm/Length of Load Arm
MA = l1/l2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Mechanical Advantage of Lever - Mechanical Advantage of Lever is the ratio of load lifted to the effort applied.
Length of Effort Arm - (Measured in Meter) - Length of effort arm is defined as the length of the arm of the lever onto which the effort force is applied.
Length of Load Arm - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Load Arm is the length of the arm of a lever on the end on which the load is exerted.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Length of Effort Arm: 900 Millimeter --> 0.9 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Load Arm: 95 Millimeter --> 0.095 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
MA = l1/l2 --> 0.9/0.095
Evaluating ... ...
MA = 9.47368421052632
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
9.47368421052632 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
9.47368421052632 9.473684 <-- Mechanical Advantage of Lever
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

10+ Effort, Load and Reaction on Lever Calculators

Reaction Force at Fulcrum of Lever given Effort, Load and Contained Angle
Go Force at Lever Fulcrum Pin = sqrt(Load on lever^2+Effort on Lever^2-2*Load on lever*Effort on Lever*cos(Angle Between Lever Arms))
Reaction Force at Fulcrum of Lever given Bearing Pressure
Go Force at Lever Fulcrum Pin = Bearing Pressure in Fulcrum Pin of Lever*Diameter of Lever Fulcrum Pin*Length of Lever Fulcrum Pin
Effort Force Applied on Lever given Bending Moment
Go Effort on Lever = Bending Moment in Lever/(Length of Effort Arm-Diameter of Lever Fulcrum Pin)
Load using Lengths and Effort
Go Load on lever = Length of Effort Arm*Effort on Lever/Length of Load Arm
Effort using Length and Load
Go Effort on Lever = Length of Load Arm*Load on lever/Length of Effort Arm
Reaction Force at Fulcrum of Right Angled Lever
Go Force at Lever Fulcrum Pin = sqrt(Load on lever^2+Effort on Lever^2)
Leverage
Go Mechanical Advantage of Lever = Length of Effort Arm/Length of Load Arm
Effort using Leverage
Go Effort on Lever = Load on lever/Mechanical Advantage of Lever
Mechanical Advantage
Go Mechanical Advantage of Lever = Load on lever/Effort on Lever
Load using Leverage
Go Load on lever = Effort on Lever*Mechanical Advantage of Lever

Leverage Formula

Mechanical Advantage of Lever = Length of Effort Arm/Length of Load Arm
MA = l1/l2

What is lever?

A lever is defined as a mechanical device in the form of a rigid bar pivoted about the fulcrum to multiply or transfer the force.
