What is Mechanical Advantage?

Back

Mechanical Advantage is a measure of how much a machine multiplies the input force.

Front

What does it mean if the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is greater than the distance from the load to the fulcrum?

Back

It means that the lever has a mechanical advantage.

Front

How is work calculated in physics?

Back

Work is calculated using the formula W = Fd, where W is work, F is force, and d is distance.

If a force of 350 N is used to move an object 5 m, how much work is done?

Back

1750 J (calculated as W = Fd = 350 N * 5 m).

Front

What is the formula to find Mechanical Advantage?

Back

Mechanical Advantage = Load Force / Effort Force.

Front

If a load of 100 N is lifted with an effort of 20 N, what is the mechanical advantage?

Back

5 (calculated as 100 N / 20 N).

What does it mean if a machine has a mechanical advantage greater than 1?

Back

It means the machine can lift a load with less effort than the load's weight.

If 16 N of force is applied and 96 J of work is done, how far was the object moved?

Back

6 m (calculated as d = W/F = 96 J / 16 N).

Front

What is the relationship between force and mechanical advantage?

Back

Mechanical advantage indicates how much a machine can amplify the input force.
