If the effort arm is longer than the load arm, as in the crowbar, the effort travels farther than the load and is less than the load.
The law of equilibrium is: The effort multiplied by its distance from the fulcrum equals the load multiplied by its distance from the fulcrum.
This effort times distance about the fulcrum is the torque, the rotational force referred to in the gears (wheel and axle) tutorial.

 MSN Encarta - Print Preview - Pulley
Pulleys increase distance by requiring additional rope to be pulled to lift an object.
MA is generally determined by dividing the distance the effort travels by the distance the load travels.
A single fixed pulley, such as that at the top of a flagpole, has a theoretical MA of 1, which means for each distance of rope the user pulls in, the flag rises the same distance.

 Levers and Torque
The effort and the resistance are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.
In a class two lever the force of the effort multiplied by the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is opposite and equal to the force of the resistance multiplied by the distance of the resistance from the fulcrum.
In a class three lever the force of the effort multiplied by the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is opposite and equal to the force of the resistance multiplied by the distance of the resistance from the fulcrum.

Second, the effort force is applied parallel to the slope of an inclined plane, while the effort force is applied perpendicular to the direction of travel when using a wedge.
The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the length of the arc on the effort side to the length of the arc on the resistance side (whew, that sounds technical J).
When the fulcrum is closer to the resistance force (resistance arm less than effort arm), the effort force is increased, but there is a corresponding decrease in both the distance the resistance force moves and the speed with which it moves.

 MSN Encarta - Pulley
The pulley is one of the four simple machines (along with the lever, the wheel and axle, and the inclined plane) used to do work.
Work is defined in physics as the result of a force, such as the effort of pulling on a rope, that moves an object across a distance.
Pulleys reduce the effort to lift an object by increasing the distance over which the effort is applied.

Since the effort distance is twice the resistance distance, the effort must be half the resistance.
The distance between point where the wheel touches the ground (in a wheel on a vehicle) and the point about which the wheel turns is the resistance arm.
The steering wheel on a car has a mechanical advantage greater than one, because the effort is applied at the rim and the resistance is overcome at the shaft of the steering wheel.

The rationale behind such an investment of effort in distance learning courses is that once the materials are developed, they can be used to teach a greater number of students and that time would be saved from not having to run face-to-face classes.
The overall effort, depending on the number of students, can therefore be at least one and half to two times that for a traditional course with the same number of students.
Distance learning students tend to be older, pay their own fees and the course experience is what they are paying for.

 Archived Newsletter: To Infinity and Beyond
The force (F) (either the load or the effort) multiplied by the length of the lever arm (d) (distance from the fulcrum to the point at which the force acts) is what tends to rotate a lever on its fulcrum.
But if you move the position at which the effort is applied farther from the fulcrum, and apply the same amount of force, force times distance on the effort side produces more torque than force times distance on the load side.
When the distances are equal (both at 10 cm from the fulcrum), the force of the load (2.4 N) equals the force of the effort (2.4 N).

The goal in most lever designs is to have a greater distance between the fulcrum and the effort than the fulcrum and the load.
The greater this distance the stronger the joint, the less effort needed.

The choice of distance education as an option for a course should be made with concern for the appropriateness of the delivery mechanism for course content, possibilities for student interaction, and the protection of faculty intellectual property.
Distance Education is defined as a planned teaching/learning experience that uses a wide spectrum of technologies to reach learners at a distance and is designed to encourage learner interaction and certification of learning.
Distance education (or correspondence/home study) is the enrollment and study with an educational institution which provides lesson materials prepared in a sequential and logical order for study by students on their own.

 Fly Casting: More Distance, Less Effort
When fly-fishing for striped bass, a long cast allows you to cover a lot of water; you show your fly to as many fish as possible and your fly is fishing the majority of the time.
The most distance and power you’ll ever add to your cast will come through refining your basic casting stroke: learning to load and unload the rod properly, learning to form tight loops, and lengthening your casting stroke when you’re casting distance.
The first thing you can do to increase your distance and power with no additional effort is to let your final back cast unroll completely before you begin your forward stroke.
