Question

you apply 100.0 N of force to a machine. The machine applies 20.0 N of the force to the load. what is the mechanical advantage of the machine

Answer 1

mechanical advantage is 5
100/20

Answer 2

The mechanical advantage of the machine 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Output force = 20.0 N

Input force = 100 N

We need to calculate the mechanical advantage of the machine

Using formula of mechanical advantage

`MA = (F_(out))/(F_(in))*100`

Put the value into the formula

`MA=(20.0)/(100)*100`

`MA=(1)/(5)*100`

`MA=20\%`

Hence, The mechanical advantage of the machine 20%.
