Question

Give two differences between mechanica
advantage
and velocity ratio.​

Answer 1

Mechanical advantage:

i. The ratio of load to effort on a balanced lever is called mechanical advantage.(Definition)

ii. Mechanical advatage (MA) = Load (L)/Effort (E) (Formula)

Velocity ratio:

i. The ratio of effort distance to load distance is called velocity ratio.(Definition)

ii. Velocity ratio (VR) = effort distance(Ed)/ load distance(Ld). (Formula)

Answer 2

Originally Answered: What is the difference between a mechanical advantage and a velocity? Mechanical Advantage is the amount the force is multiplied by the machine. It depends on the design of the machine, and also losses to friction etc. ... Velocity Ratio is how much faster the input force moves than the output force.
