Leverage Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Leverage?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

MA = \frac{l 1}{l 2}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

MA = \frac{900mm}{95mm}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

MA = \frac{0.9m}{0.095m}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

MA = \frac{0.9}{0.095}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

MA = 9.47368421052632

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

MA = 9.4737
