Which class of lever will always have M.A. > 1 and why?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From relation,

M.A. = $\frac{\text{Effort arm}}{\text{Load arm}}$

When effort arm > load arm then M.A. > 1.

Hence, we can say that class II lever always has M.A. > 1 because it has the effort arm always longer than the load arm.
