Questions and Answers

What is the point of an object at which the weight is evenly dispersed and all sides are in balance called?

  • Load
  • Fulcrum
  • Effort
  • Center of gravity (correct)
  • What is the formula for mechanical advantage of a lever?

  • $MA = Force hinspace Arm hinspace Length + Resistance hinspace Arm hinspace Length$
  • $MA = Force hinspace Arm hinspace Length \times Resistance hinspace Arm hinspace Length$
  • $MA = Force hinspace Arm hinspace Length - Resistance hinspace Arm hinspace Length$
  • $MA = \frac{Force hinspace Arm hinspace Length}{Resistance hinspace Arm hinspace Length}$ (correct)
  • What determines the classification of levers as first-, second-, or third-class?

  • The length of the lever
  • The material of the lever
  • The relative positions of the axis, weight, and force to each other (correct)
  • The weight alone
  • What does the line passing through the center of gravity down to a point in the base of support represent?
