Not A A is saying that if someone was pulling a lever to lift a beam, the input force would have to huge because the machine is magnifying the output force. if would be harder. What you want to do is magnify the input force that way you get a bigger output Example input of 2 newtons magnify the input to 8 newtons now we have more force on the other end
