Class II levers like ankles and wheelbarrows are useful because they provide mechanical advantage, by amplifying the input force to provide a greater output force. In other words, we can lift a load without having to lift the full weight of the load. Prove using a mathematical relation that Class II levers provide mechanical advantage. You will need to use the rotational equilibrium condition. It will be helpful to draw a picture indicating the movement of the load. Also, to simplify we can assume the force is still perpendicular to by considering the case when the load just starts to move.

1. when conducting a test on what kind of music increases the growth of plants, all of the following would fail to meet to fair test standard except (1 point) using different kinds of plants. giving some plants more water than others. exposing the plants to different types of music. using nutrient-rich soil for one and lesser soil for others. 2. engineering uses scientific thinking to solve real-world problems. (1 point) true false 3. what does it mean to test a hypothesis? (1 point) pass a quiz on other scientists’ results analyze only the results from scientific sources not make assumptions about how an experiment will turn out see if the results of an experiment are what the scientist predicted
