A farmer lifts a 200 kg sack of grain using a first‑class lever. The distance from the fulcrum to the load is 0.25 m and the distance from the fulcrum to the effort point is 0.75 m. (a) Assuming an ideal, frictionless lever, calculate the minimum effort force required (in newtons). (b) If the farmer instead uses a block‑and‑tackle system with a mechanical advantage of 4, what effort force is needed? (c) Which method requires the smaller effort?

Answer Options

A. Block‑and‑tackle; effort = 600 N (lever effort = 800 N)
Correct Answer B. Block‑and‑tackle; effort = 490 N (lever effort = 653.33 N)
C. Lever; effort = 400 N (block‑and‑tackle effort = 1200 N)
D. Lever; effort = 653.33 N (block‑and‑tackle effort = 490 N)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Block‑and‑tackle; effort = 490 N (lever effort = 653.33 N)
