Question

Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage of the machine? 0.1 10 225 275

Answer 1

Answer : Mechanical advantage of the machine is 0.1

Explanation :

The force applied on to a machine is 250 N. This is the input force that is applied to the machine.

The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. This shows the output force that is applied by the machine.

Mechanical advantage of the machine is defined as the ratio of the output force and the input force.

`MA=(F_o)/(F_i)`

`MA=(25\ N)/(250\ N)`

`MA=0.1`

The correct option is (A) " 0.1 "

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

0.1

Step-by-step explanation

Mechanical advantage(M.A) of a machine is the ratio of work output to work input.

It can also be defined as the ratio of load to effort. It has no units since it is a ratio.

M.A = work output/work input

= load/effort

= 25/250

= 0.1
