distance = 150m
displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)
root(2500+10000)
root 125000
mechanical advantage is given as
MA = E/L where E = distance of the effort arm from fulcrum
L = distance of the load arm from fulcrum
as the fulcrum is moved closed to load , the value of E greater than the value of L
E > L
or E/L > 1
so MA > 1
value of mechanical advantage greater than 1 signifies that it is easier to lift the load .
so it be easier to lift the load if the fulcrum was moved closer to the resistance load (output).
