Formulas and Key Relations

Mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, efficiency

M.A. = Load / Effort

V.R. = Velocity of effort / Velocity of load

V.R. = d_E / d_L

η = W_output / W_input × 100%

η = M.A. / V.R.

Lever and principle of lever

M.A. = Effort arm / Load arm = AF / BF

Clockwise moment of force = Anticlockwise moment of force

Load × Load arm = Effort × Effort arm
