Question

Suppose you exert 15 N on a machine, and the machine exerts 300 N on another object. what is the machine mechanical advantage?​

Answer 1

M=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical Advantage

It measures the force amplification achieved when we use a tool or machine that transmits the input force and applies a different force to another external device. If
`F_a` is the input force, and
`F_b` is the output force, then the mechanical advantage it

`\displaystyle M=(F_b)/(F_a)`

Note that if
`F_b` is greater than
`F_a`, then the mechanical advantage will be greater than 1. It's less than
`F_a`, M will be less than one

We are given
`F_a=15\ N,\ F_b=300\ N`

`\displaystyle M=(300)/(15)=20`

It means that every newton applied to the input will be amplified to 20 N
