Question

If the IMA of a machine is 4 and the effort force is 6.0 newtons, then the force exerted on the resistance by the machine is _____.

A- 1.5 N
B- 2.0 N
C- 10 N
D-24 N

Answer 1

If the IMA of a machine is 4 and the effort force is 6.0 newtons, then the force exerted on the resistance by the machine is D-24 N

Answer 2

Answer:The correct answer is option D.

Explanation;

Ideal mechanical advantage is defined as ratio of force exerted by the machine to the force applied on the machine.

`I.M.A=(Force_(out))/(Force_(in))`

`I.M.A=4=(Force_(out))/(6.0 N)`

Output force = 24 Newtons

Hence,the correct answer is option D.
