Question

A machine uses an input force of 200 newton to produce an output force of 800 newton . What is the mechanical advantage of this machine

Answer 1

M.A = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

mechanical advantage( force ratio) is simply the ratio of output force to input force or ratio of load to effort.

From the question,

input force = 200 N

output force = 800 N

M.A = 800 ÷ 200

M.A = 4
