  SMART96 FORCE
The force applied to to the machine is called work input or effort force.
The work output is used to move the "force" you and the machine are trying to move or overcome.
The number of times the machine multiplies the effort force is called the Mechanical Advantage.

  MSN Encarta - Lever
Levers affect the effort, or force, needed to do a certain amount of work, and are used to lift heavy objects.
To move an object with a lever, force is applied to one end of the lever, and the object to be moved (referred to as the resistance or load) is usually located at the other end of the lever, with the fulcrum somewhere between the two.
In practical terms, the MA is the distance of the force to the fulcrum divided by the distance of the load to the fulcrum.

 Encyclopedia: Effort force
In physics, effort force is the force used to move an object over a distance.
Effort force is also a component in the following equation, In physics, resistance force is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object.
Effort force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or the pound-force.

 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.
Similarly, if one of the forces is moved to a new position half as far from the fulcrum, a force twice as large must be applied at the new position to achieve balance.
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.

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.
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.
With a third-class lever, the effort force is applied between the fulcrum and the resistance force.

 MSN Encarta - Print Preview - Pulley
Work is the product of the effort, or force, applied to an object multiplied by the distance the force is applied.
MA is generally determined by dividing the distance the effort travels by the distance the load travels.
The primary benefit of a single pulley is to change the direction of the force or to move a load to a point (such as the top of a flagpole) that cannot be reached by the user.

In this case, as in A of figure 7-24, the force is applied on one side of the fulcrum, and the resistance to be overcome is applied to the opposite side; hence, this is a first class lever.
Referring to figure 7-26, the length of the wheelbarrow handles from the axle of the wheel (which is the fulcrum) to the grip is 4 feet.
Thus, the force of the pull on the rope must be equal to the weight of the object being lifted.

The force may be reduced, but - if the force is reduced - there is a "cost" in terms of greater distance.
The DISTANCE through which the force must be exerted has fallen; that might be advantageous if there were only a small region through which the the force could be exerted [mechanics, plumbers and electricians know about tight spots!!].

Since the force needed to push an object up an inclined plane is less than the force needed to lift the same object, inclined planes reduce the amount of force necessary to do a job.
An example of the force being applied to the axle is on a Ferris Wheel: the wheel spins because of the force on the axle.
The effort force that is required to lift the load is reduced as the effort location is moved away from the fulcrum.
