Joe takes his little brother Andy down the the playground for an afternoon out. Andy would like to ride the seesaw, but the difference in their sizes, Joe weights 160lbs and Andy weighs 64lbs, makes this difficult. Joe sees a solution from his engineering class and moves the fulcrum from the middle to a new place. The seesaw is 3.5m long. After Joe moved the fulcrum, what is the new mechanical advantage of the seesaw, considering the input from Andy's side of the seesaw?

One of your employees is complaining of knee pain on the R. While assessing his workstation, you noted that from a sitting position (starting position: 90 deg flexion), the employee needs to exert a lot of effort to extend his right knee to 45 deg from the starting point. The length of the limb (from the tibial tuberosity to the heel area) is measured to be 38 cm. What now is the linear distance traveled by the limb from the initial position to 45 degrees of knee extension?
In a simple machine, an effort of 100 Newton lifts a load of 840 Newton. if the distance moved by the effort is 20cm and that by load is 2 cm,find: (i) Mechanical advantage (ii) Velocity ratio (iii) Efficiency (iv) Effort lost in friction (v) friction in terms of load
A manual chain hoist is a machine used to lift a 125 kg crate. A force of 200 N is applied to the effort chain through a distance of 3m, and the crate is lifted a distance of 0.4m. What is the Mechanical Advantage provided by the chain hoist?
A lever with a mechanical advantage of 6 is attached to the pump piston of a hydraulic press. The area of the pump piston is 1.2 in2 and that of the output piston is 18 in2.
