Two people are struggling to lift a 10-foot canoe to store it upright in a shed. The canoe weighs 115 pounds. If one person anchors the end of the canoe to the ground (serving as the fulcrum) while the other person lifts the canoe 5 feet from the fulcrum, what is the mechanical advantage gained by this method?
