Q

Mechanical advantage

A

When the load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort is farther from the fulcrum it takes a smaller amount of effort to move the load which is called the mechanical advantage

Q

Mechanical disadvantage

A

When the load is farther from the fulcrum and the effort is closer to the fulcrum it creates a mechanical disadvantage so that you need more effort to move the load
