Question

A car jack with a mechanical advantage of 6 needs to produce an output force of 600 N to raise a car. What input force is required? 6 N 100 N 600 N 3,600 N

Answer 1

100n

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Input force = 100N

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Mechanical Advantage = output force / input force.

Givens

MA = 6

Output Force = 600 N

Input Force = ??

Solution

6 = 600 / x

Multiply both sides by x

6x = (600/x)*x

6x = 600

The xs cancel. Now Divide by 6

6x/6 = 600/6

x = 100 N
