    The lever will provide a leverage advantage of 2:1, and the incline will have an advantage of 1:√2/2, for a net mechanical advantage of (4/√2):1 ≈ 2.8:1. Thus 50 kg ( ~491 N ) of plates will apply to the user only an equaling weight of 18 kg or a force of ~174 N at the beginning of the motion.

    A bolt with property class 12.9 has a tensile strength of 1200 MPa (1 MPa = 1 N/mm 2) or 1.2 kN/mm 2 and the yield strength is 0.90 times tensile strength, 1080 MPa in this case. A bolt with property class 4.6 has a tensile strength of 400 MPa (1 MPa = 1 N/mm 2 ) or 0.4 kN/mm 2 and yield strength is 0.60 times tensile strength, 240 MPa in this ...
