Question

Alondra applies 24 N of force to the end of a stick (a type of lever) to open a can of paint.

The lid resists with 6 N of force. What is the mechanical advantage?

Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

24n/6n=4

Answer 2

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical Advantage = Load/Effort

Given

Effort applied = 24N

Load = 6N

Substitute

MA = 6/24

MA = 1/4

Hence the mechanical advantage is 1/4
