A student tries lifting a heavy stone with a short crowbar and fails. What should he do to make lifting
easier

Answer: C. Use a longer crowbar to increase the effort arm

Effort x effort arm = load x load arm. A longer crowbar increases the effort arm, so the same heavy load can be lifted with a smaller push. Moving the load away from the fulcrum would make it harder.
