Question

True or False

"To achieve a balanced muscle-joint leverage system, the product of the effort arm and the resistance arm must be equal to the product of the effort and the resistance."

Answer 1

False;

To achieve a balanced muscle-joint leverage system, the product of the effort arm and the effort must be equal to the product of the resistance arm and the resistance."

The lever system states that a resistance acting at one side of pivot (fulcrum) can be counterbalanced by an effort applied at the opposite side. The distance from the fulcrum to the point at which the push of the resistance seems to be concentrated is called resistance arm. The distance from the fulcrum to the effort is called effort arm. Balance is achieved when the product of the effort and effort arm equals the product of the resistance and resistance arm.
