Lifting an object, AMA will always be less than IMA because working against gravity

But if you are lowering an object, AMA will be greater than IMA because gravity (friction) is helping

A crowbar is used as a lever to pry a board loose. A boy applies an effort force at a distance of 0.8m from the fulcrum. The resistance force acts 0.2m from the fulcrum.

a) Calculate the IMA.

b) Assuming friction is negligible, what is the resistance force if the boy pushes

with a force of 225N?

The great pyramid of Cheops is 146m high. Workers used large stones to build this structure, each with a mass of 900kg.

Egyptologists believe that ramps were used to raise the stones to the height needed. It is thought that 6 workers, each pushing with 400N of force, could accomplish this task.

Neglecting friction, what would be the length of the ramp needed to get each stone to the top of the pyramid?
