The distance from the hinge to the bolt holes is 1/2inches. The distance from the hinge to the end of the handle is 7 inches what is the mechanical advantage of the tool?
so far i did MA=LE over LR = 7 divided by .5inches and got 14inches and so i put 14:1 as the answer. Is this correct? its a first class lever
and going with that "what would the effort at the end of the handle need to be in order to cut the bolt?" shear force needed to cut the bolt = 675lbs. not sure the equation or anything at all for that one.
