A farmer has to lift up a boulder 12 inches in the air in order to put it in his wagon. The boulder is 2000 lbf. The farmer has the following tools available: a fixed pulley and a moveable pulley with a rope; an inclined plane with a length of 8 feet and a height of 12 inches, and a lever that is 10 feet long. The farmer has a maximum strength to push or pull of 100 lbf

?Draw a detailed sketch of the system design, label all mechanisms and simple machines utilized in the system, and dimension the sketch:

Describe in detail the system and how it will operate:

Calculate mechanical advantage of the individual mechanisms in the system and the total mechanical advantage of the system:

Calculate the ideal effort force that will be required by the farmer (must be less than 100lbf):
