When M.A and V.R are greater than 1, the machine
gains speed
helps to change direction of effort
acts as a force multiplier
has high efficiency
If the velocity ratio of a machine is 1, the machine _______________________.
acts as a force multiplier
generally changes direction of effort.
gains in speed
none of the options
According to principle of moments
effortload = load armeffort arm
effortload = effort armload arm
load x effort arm = effort x load arm
load + load arm = effort + effort arm
In this image,
the machine is decreasing mechanical advantage
the machine is increasing mechanical advantage
mechanical advantage is not changed
