Efficiency and Mechanical Advantage in Physics

if a load of a lever is 100 newtons and the force you apply is 20 newtons, what is your mechanical advantage?

• 120 N
• 5 N
• 2000 N
• 80 N

What is the equation for mechanical advantage?

• MA=input force*output force
• MA=output force/input force
• MA=input force/output force
• MA= output force - input force

What is the mechanical advantage if you lift a load of 300 newtons and you only push down with 50 newtons?

• 250
• 50
• 60
• 6

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

• 2N
• 5N
• 10N
• 15N
