Mechanical Systems - Quiz #2

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the amount by which a machine can multiply a force.

• True

• False

The force applied to the machine is called...

• Output force

• Individual force

• Input force

• Specific force

The force the machine applies to the object is called...

• Input force

• Output force

• Applied force

• intentional force

Input and output forces are measured in...

• Grams

• Pounds

• Kilograms

• Newtons

The formula for calculating the Mechanical Advantage is...
