Which lever has mechanical advantage always greater than one?

The principle of a lever is the principle of law of:

Let be the force acting on a particle having position vector and be the torque of this force about the origin. Then

A slender uniform rod of mass M and length is pivoted at one end so that it can rotate in a vertical plane (see figure). There is negligible friction at the pivot. The free end is held vertically above the pivot and then released. The angular acceleration of the rod when it makes an angle with the vertical is:
