What is the mechanival advantage of a lever in which the effort force required to move an object is 1/10 of the load force?

Mechanical advantage = load force / effort force
= 1 / 1/10
= 10
This is assuming 100% mechanical efficiency.

It is 10 to 1 (=10:1) since ten pounds of load can be moved by a one pound force.

hello ! the lever length is in inverse ratio to the load sooo in case you push down 10 pounds with the help of 10 ft you may raise one hundred pounds in a million foot...the ratios are the most to the lever load forces..the MA for yours is 10:a million..there ya bypass from the E..
