Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following
Weight of the car = 1200N (Load)
Let us get the effort by using the formula;
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Substitute the given values
1200/0.9 = F2/0.2
Cross multiply
0.9F2 = 1200 * 0.2
0.9F2 = 240
F2 = 240/0.9
F2 = 266.67N
Hence the effort is 266.67N
Mechanical Advntage = Load/Effort
MA = 1200/266.67
MA = 4.5
Hence he mechanical advantage of the hydraulic lift is 4.5
