1/3 m away from the load and 2/3 m away from the effort.
To calculate the fulcrum position that gives a mechanical advantage of MA = 2 with a class I lever of length L = 1 m, follow these simple steps:
Calculate the distance dr from the load to the fulcrum using dr = L/( MA + 1) = 1/3.
Determine the distance de from the fulcrum to the effort using de = L - dr = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
Verify your results using our fulcrum calculator.
