Answer:
c. 3
Explanation:
Given:
- displacement in the input arm, [tex]d_i=20\ in[/tex]
- corresponding displacement in the output arm, [tex]d_o=5\ in[/tex]
- load on the output arm, [tex]F_o=30\ lbs[/tex]
- corresponding load on the input arm, [tex]F_i=10\ lbs[/tex]
Since AMA i.e. actual mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the output force to the input force on a simple machine. This takes into account the losses occurred.
Now, mathematically:
[tex]AMA=\frac{F_o}{F_i}[/tex]
[tex]AMA=\frac{30}{10}[/tex]
[tex]AMA=3[/tex]
