The 27 pages that link to Mechanical advantage, each with the reason it gives.

• Work (physics)Related: Machines can trade distance for force while ideal input and output work remain equal.

• LeverRelated: A lever’s arm lengths determine its ideal force advantage.

• Bite forceRelated: Jaw geometry can amplify muscle force, trading bite speed or range for force.

• Inclined planeRelated: An ideal ramp’s mechanical advantage increases with its length relative to its height.

• PulleyRelated: Supporting a load with multiple rope segments can increase this ratio.

• Bicycle gearingRelated: Low bicycle gears trade wheel travel per stroke for reduced force at the pedals.

• CounterweightRelated: A counterweight can reduce the input force needed to raise a load.

• Bicycle drivetrainRelated: Gear choices alter the force and speed delivered to the wheel.

• Gear ratioRelated: The ratio can provide torque multiplication at the cost of rotational speed.

• FulcrumRelated: The fulcrum’s location sets the lever’s force advantage.

• CalisthenicsRelated: Changing limb position alters leverage and makes a body-weight movement easier or harder.

• Rack and pinionRelated: Pinion radius and applied torque determine force available at the rack.

• Tool (implement)Related: Many implements multiply or redirect the force applied by a hand.

• Wheel and axleRelated: The wheel-to-axle radius ratio sets this machine’s ideal force multiplication.

• CapstanRelated: A capstan’s frictional tension gain lets modest input force control a larger load.

• PliersRelated: Handle length and jaw geometry determine how strongly pliers multiply hand force.

• Simple machineRelated: Force gain is not the same as energy gain; the input must move farther.

• Bowden cableRelated: Lever geometry paired with cable travel determines force and movement at the mechanism.

• Domenico FontanaRelated: Pulley arrangements let Fontana’s crews raise the obelisk with manageable forces.

• War hammerRelated: A long haft lets the wielder build striking speed and transfer momentum through the head.

• WindlassRelated: The windlass multiplies input force through its handle or drive system.

• HandcarRelated: Lever length and linkage shape affect how crew effort becomes propulsion.

• ShadoofRelated: The lengths of the shadoof’s arms determine how much the counterweight assists lifting.

• TweezersRelated: The distance from the joined end to the grip point shapes the force applied at the tips.
