Expert Answer:
Considering a mechanical weighing machine, we learn the following aspects:
- The weighing machine has point of 'effort' at one of its end i.e at point A in the figure.
- At the centre of the mechanism, the machine mechanism has a 'fulcrum' which transfers the effort made by a weight on the machine towards the load indicator.Point C and D in the figure.
- At point E, the machine indicates the magnitude of the load exerted upon it.
Therefore, as the machine has the effort and the load at one of its ends and the fulcrum in between, we conclude that a weighing machine is a first class lever.

- The load arm of a lever is 2 m long and and it's effort arm is 3 m long .what is the effort required to lift a load of 21N
- If load is less than effort than its formula
- The load arm of a lever is 5m long and its effort arm is 4m.What is the effort needed to lift a load of 40N ?
- The length of a lever of class I is 400 cm. Calculate the mechanical advantage of the lever if it's fulcrum is located at a distance of 200cm from the effort. *

- The handle of a water pump is 90 cm long from its piston rod. If the pivot handle is at a distance of 15 cm from the piston rod, calculate (a) least effort required at its other end to overcome a resistance of 60 kgf and (b) mechanical advantage of handle.
