Calculating Mechanical Advantage

How much work is produced when 350 N is used to move a car 5 m (W=Fd)?

• 70 J
• 1750 J
• 355 J
• 175 J

What is effort (input) force?

• the force one exerts on a machine

• the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine.

• the force the machine exerts on a object

• the output work times the input distance

The amount by which a machine multiplies input force is known as the 

• work.
• power.
• output force.
• mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage is a measure of how much a machine multiplies the input

• efficiency.
• force.
• power.
• work.

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds and puts all of his weight on the lever. How much mechanical advantage did the lever provide to Jeff in lifting the rock?
