5) With reference to the effort and load, describe the main difference between a lever operating with a mechanical advantage versus a lever operating at a mechanical disadvantage.

Answer:

Difficulty: Medium

Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement.

Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load.

Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements

Solution: A lever operates at a mechanical advantage when a smaller effort can move a heavier load. The effort moves a greater distance at a faster rate than the load. A lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage when a larger effort moves a lighter load. The effort moves more slowly and for a shorter distance than the load
