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

Answer 1

24 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the rate of load overcome to the effort applied to overcome the load or resistance. Also, it is the quotient of the resistance force to the effort force.

i.e MA =
`(L)/(E)`

Given that, MA = 4, and L = 6.0 N, then;

4 =
`(L)/(6)`

cross multiply to have

L = 4 x 6

= 24 N

L = 24 N

Thus, the force exerted on the resistance by the machine is 24 N.
