Answer:
The effort force is 37.5 N.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Length of the effort arm is 8
Length of the resistance or load arm is 1.5 m
It is required to find how much effort is needed to lift a 200 Newton weight. The definition of mechanical advantage is :
[tex]m=\dfrac{\text{effort distance}}{\text{resistance distance}}=\dfrac{\text{resistance force}}{\text{effort force}}[/tex]
Let F is effort force.
[tex]\dfrac{8}{1.5}=\dfrac{200}{F}\\\\F=\dfrac{200\times 1.5}{8}\\\\F=37.5\ N[/tex]
So, effort force is 37.5 N.
