Question

A 7 cm thick and 20 cm long wedge is used to pierce a 3cm long log of diameter 20cm what is the velocity ratio of the wedge

Answer 1

The velocity ratio of the wedge is 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the velocity ratio

Velocity Ratio = Distance Moved by effort / Distance moved by Load

Where

Distance Moved by effort = 3cm

Distance moved by Load = 20 cm

Placing values in the formula

Velocity Ratio = 3cm / 20 cm

Velocity Ratio = 0.15
