Answer:

24860 N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

  • Mechanical advantage is 0.0893
  • Output force is 2220 Newtons

We are required to determine the input force;

  • We know that mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force.
  • That is; M.A. = Output force ÷ Input force
  • Rearranging the formula;

Input force = Output force ÷ M.A.

Therefore;

Input force = 2220 N ÷ 0.0893

= 24860 N

Hence, the input force is 24860 N
